You can't just switch between devices by unplugging the R8000P and replacing it with the unnamed "Tmobile home inter thing" and back again.
Not sure what "it gone" means, but when you change your network hardware, you should restart things in the right order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
