Mr5200 - EUS - Is it cat 22 or cat 20, talking about LTE
Everywhere it's written that mr5200 has lte-cat22 capable modem.
The snapdragon inside, has a cat22 modem.
The box containing mine mr5200 says it's a cat20..
What is the truth? I Hope someone from Netgear could answer..

Not Netgear, however the MR5200 Data Sheet shows "LTE CAT 22, LTE Advanced Pro,4x4 MIMO, 256-QAM".
Not sure what you expect - you will never see CAT 20 resp. CAT22 numbers like 2Mb/s resp. 2.5Mb/s down or 3xx resp 4xx Kb/s up in reality. By far to many different factors in the play - last but not least, mobile providers could also control bandwidth available based on contract or on device classes. Some carriers for example don't like router class devices driven by voice/smart phone SIMs.

Curious what language and print variant this could be.

hi,
yes i already read the datasheet and noticed the 22 cat.
I also know that cat20 or 22 will be hardly discerneable... but it's just to know where's the truth.
I bought it at amazon IT, but it was at Amazon Es warehouse.
It's all written in English.
Thank you
PS: Netgear Italia confirmed that it is cat20
