HINT Control

About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent! Thanks for this. It's so frustrating trying to live with the pathetic interface T-Mobile has allowed us to have. I don't need a lot of control over things such as ports or DNS settings, but basic controls such as turning radios on or off, power settings and band steering disable are a must. TM keeps updating their app and it just gets worse. Your work is very much appreciated!

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 WiFI 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.

works perfectly 8 months ago. since then, T-Mobile updated the gateway. now, app has no effect on Wi-Fi radios. radios will switch off on the screen but when you refresh the screen they are back on and Wi-Fi never disappears on any device. any help is appreciated
