Enabling n41 on MR5200-100EUS

Hello,

I've bought MR5200-100EUS, but it turns out there's a difference betwen 100EUS and normal version in terms of n41 support. 100EUS lacks it, but normal does have it (but doesn't have n38). n41 band in required by my MNO -- Plus (a Polish operator) for 5G to work. Do you know it there's a way to enable it my model? Is it a hardware or firmware issue? If the latter, do you know if there's an firmware upgrade adding support of new bands possible in the future?

Regards,
Krzysztof

  • Both MR5100C-1BNCNS and MR5200-100NAS has n38/n41 supported, you can't now force to pick up non-supported band(s) from AT commands as the FW is filtering it out

      Thank you for the explanation. Well, now the weird thing is that European version of the model is filtering out the band required by European mobile network operators. It doesn't make sense to me.

        Could you please specify which carriers require n41 in EU countries now?
