JS Code To Disable WiFi for T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Router

disable-tmobile-5g-home-internet-rotuer-wifi.md

This script can be copied into the browser console and used to disable wifi on the T-Mobile 5G Home Internet router. The web interface for the router doesn't allow you to disable it.

Steps

1. Go to http://192.168.12.1
2. Open dev console (on mac [cmd]+[opt]+i)
3. Copy the code from the below JS file and with the password value updated to be your actual password and hit enter
4. Call the code by typing tmobileHomeInternetDisableWifi() and hitting enter

Thank you for writing this up! One thing I wanted to check before I proceed.
Do you know if changing from false to true will reenable the radios? T-Mobile is forcing the use of the App (via WiFi) to do any other admin on the box.

@kaipyroami yes it will reenable the radios. You should be good to toggle on and off when you need. I‘ve done it from time to time and it works as expected.

First time [user...] where do I insert the code? Attached is a screenshot:

Hi, when running the code I get the following message:
Post http://192.168.12.1/TMI/V1/auth/loging 401 (Unauthorized)
Uncaught (in promise) Failed to get JSON respon value
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks

I suspect you aren't updating line 3 with the correct admin password you created when you set up your T-Mobile Internet router. I just ran this code myself (after updating the password) and it worked perfectly.

When Calling the Code
I keep getting the error
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token function

The post URL should be http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/auth/login .... See line 6.

Does the code work for the Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway?
Ran into the following error

"VM107:1  Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
    at disableAccessPointWifi (<anonymous>:92:36)
    at async tmobileHomeInternetDisableWifi (<anonymous>:100:18)"

However, even before I ran the code, I can already see that isRadioEnabled is false on both 2.4 and 5Ghz because I set the WiFi network to hidden (within the android T Mobile Home Internet app).
GET http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/network/configuration?get=ap and returned the following
{"2.4ghz":{"isRadioEnabled":false..},"5.0ghz":{"isRadioEnabled":false..}}
