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?

I wish I had found this post a fortnight ago before I wasted my money and bought an LB2120. I’m got exactly the same problem.
Netgear, why are you not listening to your customers? There is clearly a deficiency in your products configuration that is available in the most basic of cellular modems and routers. Why have you not included the band selection feature?
while we wait for your response, can anyone recommend a suitable device? - must have the Ethernet port.
lastly, has any clever person worked out how to use telnet to achieve the configuration we are looking for?
Thanks and regards

You can telnet to it via the IP and port 5510, I have found some commands to use but the band selection commands doesnt seem to work properly.

Thanks. That’s great info to have.
The above method via a wifi router and the app has done the trick. Forced to 3G and sitting happily on 3 signal bars. Performance reasonable considering my location so hoping the settings will stick but more importantly I hope Netgear bring out the firmware update so others are not as imapacted.
cheers
