What router do you have?
And what Tmobile hotspot/home internet device did you get?

Im trying to connect my R7800 router to a new T Mobile G5 Home Internet Gateway. Previously, I used a Cable modem with Comcast.
When connecting to the T-Mobile Gateway to the WAN Port of the R7800 I see ethernet speeds 1/10th of what a wifi connection to the T Mobile gateway produces.
What are the optimum R7800 settings to connect to the gateway?

Does the G5 have a built-in wireless router? If so you will need to set it to modem only when connected to the Nighthawk router.

Will the Netgear EX6400 work with the T-mobile NOK 5G21 Gateway Internet device. If so, how would I hook it up? Does it have to go through a router? I do have a Linksys EA6350 router.

That is probably an unanswerable question without a lot more information.
First you need to work out what this "T-mobile NOK 5G21 Gateway Internet device" can do. We can't do the research for you. Ask the people who made it how you can connect it to a router or extender.
Then you need to decide what you are doing with this Linksys EA6350 router.
The you could look at what the EX6400 is intended for. It is a wifi extender. That means it works with your existing wifi and router and spreads it out into a wider area. How you do that – as a wifi repeater or a wireless access point – is up to you.
None of your questions has anything to do with the Nighthawk WiFi Routers covered in this bit of the Netgear community.
