MR6550. no 5G mmWave ability to receive on Nighthawk M6 PRO 6550 unlocked Verizon

Hello.  I am getting no 5G mmWave Frequencies to receive on Nighthawk M6 PRO 6550 unlocked Verizon.  Firmware is up to date and the Verizon Plan does include UW support.  I have a tower that is literally a stone throw from me that I know supports UW because I can receive UW Frequencies on the phone.  Netgear is compatible with this as Verizon uses n260/n261 which is also used on Pro 6550.

  • That's definitely frustrating, especially with a UW-supported plan and tower so close. Sounds like everything should line up might be worth double-checking with Verizon if the IMEI is fully provisioned for mmWave on their network, even though the device is compatible.

      I called Verizon on this and they stated the IMEI is fully provisioned for mmWave on their networki so I have to rely on what rep told me.
