Works great, until it doesn’t.

I use this to turn off the Wi-Fi on my Tmobile gateway in order to use my home router. It still works great on my iPad, but it no longer works on my iPhone. App has been removed. Re-downloaded. Phone has been turned on and off, but still it no longer is able to find the gateway. Not a dealbreaker, but certainly is annoying.

Love this app!

Not sure why T-Mobile (and Mint Mobile) don’t provide direct control of the unit, but this app fills the gap nicely!

In my case I used it to disable the wifi radios since I have my own wifi mesh setup connected. Disabling the radios is the closest I can get to bridge mode that most modems support.

I also ran into an issue this morning where the modem showed no 5G connection. Was great that I could just open this up and hit β€œreboot” rather than have to physically power cycle the unit. A big thank you to the creator of this app!

Great for turning off WIFI radios

10 / 10 would recommend. Probably can do a lot more but it’s all I needed. T mobile you should just have had this on your life app …

Very Useful and Informative

Very useful app to use alongside the T-Mobile G4AR! Very happy with the β€œReboot” shortcut action! I have this scheduled with an automation to trigger at a certain time once a month and it works great!

Great utility for T-mobile gateways

Really useful app. Great for setting up and checking T-mobile gateway connection. It needs one additional feature however, the ability to set an automatic reboot on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. The ability to trigger a reboot on a connection loss would be a nice feature also.
