US to UK LBR20 Change
I have been relocated for work and am trying to get my Orbi LBR20 to work in the US. I have read many posts and I have been able to TelNet into the Orbi and change the location - but the LTE is still not working with the Thee sim card. I have updated the APN - but no luck. Any guiance or links to posts to resolve would be really appreciated.

You're using Thee? or Three (UK lte)
Have you tried a US plan/sim card setup?
Sorry, I have a US model trying to get it working in the UK. Worked fine in the US, just won't pick up the SIM card.

The LBR20 Product DAta Sheet claims it works in the EU with bands LTE-FDD 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28 and LTE-TDD 38, 40, 41

Three Network claims to use bands 1, 3, 20, 32, n77, n78

Three has a web site showing compatible devices.
When I click on Mobile Broadband Devices, there are none from Netgear.
It appears (to me) that you may need to look at a different phone company.
(Also, I have no idea what the difference is between LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD. Time for Google?)
