LB1120 - AT&T notification device is no longer compatible with their network.
I received the following notification yesterday from AT&T: " CANCELLATION NOTICE - It's urgent you upgrade to a new compatible device. Your current device will stop working any day now, and, on ...
AT&T shutdown their 3G network on 2-22-22 The LB1120 is not on their Whitelist for compatible devices for after that shutdown. You can find the whitelist with a interenet search.
In terms of why the LB1120 is considered an 3G device is that it uses 3G to setup and than access LTE. This possibly could be corrected with a firmware update. However AT&T would need to certify it and Netgear would have to make the effort to do so. Not likely.
The only devices on the list that meet the AT&T requirements are all mobile hotspots such as the M5, MR1100 (M1) and previous old AT&T sold mobile hotspots that have had a firmware update.
I received the same notification, and many others did as well. T-Mobile and Verizon are shutting down 3G as well. So, basically the LB-1120 is now an obsolete device.
It's a paperweight. Very disappointing. I expected more from a Netgear product.
