I've read the whole post (I'm Italian) but the conclusions seem to be that there is no way to configure the ZTE H388Q as a pure modem.

At the moment I'm not optimistic... it looks that the only option might be using the Netgear just in AP mode, but I would be losing some features.

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
