The T-Mobile uses a "blend" of the different "G"s, mostly 4G LTE for now, but 5G where available. It's fully compatible with the system of towers that T-Moble (and the old Sprint) already has installed. That's why it's much more accessible to the general population than the Verizon gizmo, which if I'm understanding it correctly, is pure 5G. Also, 5G microwave is distance challenged, so T-Mobile's solution is more useful in more spread out localities. My reading seems to indicate that T-Mobile is eating Verizon's lunch on this technology rollout.
This article is helpful. Add an hour or so on the interwebs and you will be up to speed.
The T-Mobile gizmo has 2 ethernet ports and also broadcasts WiFi. However what I'm reading is that the WiFi is kind of lame and it would be better to use one of the ethernet ports to send the signal to your existing WiFi or mesh system.
There's also a good article from PC Magazine, but I couldn't find it immediately. I think I left it on my home computer when I left this morning. I'll post it later if I can find it.
There also is a number of YouTube videos on the subject, if you care to jump down that rabbit hole...
