Description
HINT Control is a cross-platform and open source app for viewing advanced information about your Home Internet gateway and controlling hidden settings.
Currently, the Arcadyan KVD21, Arcadyan TMOG4AR, Sagemcom Fast 5688W, Sercomm TMOG4SE, and Nokia 5G21 gateways are supported. The Askey TM-RTL0102 can't be controlled with this app.
NOTE: Don't disable the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios in the "Wi-Fi" section unless you have a wired connection to your gateway. These will disable the Wi-Fi and prevent you connecting to the gateway wirelessly.
Check out the source code and releases for other platforms: https://github.com/zacharee/ArcadyanKVD21Control/.
Recent changes: * Add explanations for some signal values. Tap the ⓘ next to a label. * Don't encode 6GHz WiFi data in JSON sent to gateway if it's null. * Replace Transmission Power sliders with discrete options for 50% and 100%. * Update translations.

This works great to turn off the radios on the T-Mobile TMO-G5AR Modem. Thanks to the developer, much better than the app T-Mobile provides.

Super easy. Helped with my tmobile modem in disabling the antennas for hookup into a different router. Great app
★★★★☆Hafizullah Sufi· Nov 17, 2024
Does the job easily. Recommended. However: what I really want is a way to disable NAT and DHCP on my gateway, essentially to "bridge" it to my very-capable Asus router to manage Wi-Fi and LAN addressing & traffic. If you can give us that, a lot of gamers and techies will be very happy. I'd even pay a few bucks in-app-purchase to have advanced features such as bridging available.

Helped me turn off Wi-Fi radios to use my G4AR as a second WAN source without signal interference. Avoided having to pop the device open, thank you

I thought the whole point of this app was to be able to turn the Wi-Fi radios off and on??? Well, no way! You cannot turn off the 5G because it hangs up the router. So, what good is it? I want to be in control of my Wi-Fi. If I'm using Ethernet, and I don't want to be pounded by the Wi-Fi, would be nice to have the ability to shut it off and still continue using the Ethernet. That's all.

I keep getting Error Bad Request when I try to change ANYTHING. Turn off band steering ERROR, Turn off 2.4ghz on a broadcast ERROR!!

App won't allow for 5ghz radio to be turned kff. A warning pops up stating "Unable to disable 5GHz!". I have a router directly connect and am I looking to turn off all Wi-Fi radio. App will allow for 2.4GHz radio to be disabled. (TMO-G4SE)
