Hi, we will be moving in a few months. Currently our Firewalla Gold has done a great job on the Cox cable modem. Where we are moving to the best choice is using the T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Gateway (Arcadyan KVD21 hardware), however I could not find anything on installation or best practices using this device rather than a cable modem. Suggestions?

  If you are running in router mode already (I assume you are), you can just take this unit and plug into the T-Mobile 5G (I assume it is DHCP). Then you really don't need to reconfigure everything ... they should all work

  I was told the T-Mobile 5g router doesn't allow bypass/pass through/bridge mode.  Doesn't that mean they'll be double NAT'd?

  Depends on your configuration, if you really don't like the double NAT, firewalla gold also supports bridge mode. https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500012304202-Firewalla-Transparent-Bridge-Mode
