We have the t-mobile 5G internet gateway. How can I plug this into a 12v cigarette plug adapter to use when no electric available?  I tried a usb-c/usb cable but no power. What do I need to buy to make this work. Will the gateway work this way?  Thank you.

@marke627 you will need an inverter like the one below. Will it work? Not sure.

The Sagemcom gateway needs about 36W.  I found this car charger, which might work.  I never heard of this brand, so I am not recommending it.  This one claims to output up to 36W in one of the USB-C ports.  I didn’t see any others that high.  Of course you would need a USB-C cable (both ends) rated for more than 36W.
