kirk137 T-Mobile has been leading with 5G SA, and customers on their network shouldn’t be limited by certification requirements from carriers that don’t even support it. At the moment, Netgear has taken a “one-firmware-for-all-carriers” approach, which is why SA was disabled. That said, Netgear has acknowledged that special builds with SA can be provided if users request them directly. The best path forward is to open a case through the Netgear Support portal and clearly state that you’re on T-Mobile’s native 5G SA network, where performance is better with SA. If more T-Mobile users do the same, it increases the chance Netgear will either restore SA generally or release a T-Mobile–specific firmware.
