Use Netgear Router with T-Mobile Home Internet
I have recently replaced Spectrum with T-Mobile Home internet and need to know how to use my router with the T-Mobile interface

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.
If that isn't possible – not all gateways allow modem only mode – an alternative is to put the R7800 into wireless access point (AP) mode.
But then beware this:

Bridge mode is not available on the G5. Yes it has Triband WiFi. Useing the R7800 as an access point, surrenders the benefits of including it I'm my network. I have connect with double NAT. My test show no IPv6. The G5 is a Nokia product, WiFi directly to it yields a 100 mb/s connection, twice as fast as connecting through the R7800.

Not sure what "surrenders the benefits" means.I guess it depends on what you mean by "how to use my router with the T-Mobile interface".
If you don't want AP mode, you can set up the R7800 in "Bridge Mode" as a wireless repeater.
The R7800 will not work as a router in bridge mode, but it can expand the coverage of your wifi. That seems to be one useful benefit.

Again, I don't know what that means. You have measured the wifi speeds to the R7800 and compared them with the Nokia?
