Is there a way I can force 3G on Netgear LB 2120?
I seem to have problems with the 4G connection, as the router disconnects constantly. Is there a way to force only 3G connection in the LB2120?
Hi SergioH,
I just wanted to check up on you and see if your issue has been fixed. :]

Hi, Jason,
I am afraid the problem was not solved, we have had to change the router and use one from another manufacturer that let us force 3G connection always, and this way the connection is stable.
As 4G connections are unstable in some places, it would be important if in future firmware updates of the LB2120 it allows the selection of 3G/4G, 3G only or 4G only.
Hi SergioH,
Sorry to hear you were not satified with the LB2120 model. He did have other models that fitted your needs. The LB1120 is able to select which bands to only use.
If your new device is not compatible with you, then please take a look at our LB1120 model.
with that you would just need to go under Settings > Mobile > Preferences > Network Mode.

I have the LB1120 and would also like ot force it to the 3G band. Under Settings > Mobile > Preferences > Network Mode the preference is on automatic and cant be changed. is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.
I haven't found a way to force the 3G connection, in fact I have had to use another manufacturer's router because there is no way to make this one work with a faulty 4G connection.
