I need help on purchasing a wifi signal extender that will work with my 5g gateway. Currently my devices are still 2.4ghz and 5ghz so the extender I purchase would need to be backward compatible until I can upgrade our current devices to 5g
dajack,
For home use, these would be my requirements:
WPA3 capable (which is PMF/802.11w capable)
Operates on both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz
HQ in USA (Netgear, Linksys, etc)
I would consider something like this if you’re just looking for small and pluggable to outlet

You could find many routers that act as an extender/repeater but I think the above is what you were seeking.
Nice to have would be 802.11s (mesh) and expandable. This Google Nest Wifi system seems pretty good:

You would configure your T-Mobile router in bridge mode.

Hey Jason. Can you tell me how to configure the T-Mobile %g gateway in bridge mode?

Bridge mode is not available on the gateway.
Yep, I know. I was just hoping (but not expecting) that the previous commenter had received a magic firmware update, or had discovered a hidden way to configure it. Sigh.. Maybe someday.
