Netgear LB1120 LTE Modem 3G after last Firmware update

I connected to the modem and performed the latest firmware update. Once it rebooted and came back on the speeds were slow. After logging in again it reads it is 3G only. Now it keep asking me for the APN name. It says ATT on it. Before the update it said ATT 7. I attempted to change the name on it but it did not help. Did a factory reset by holding reset button. Once it came on it reads 3G as well. Did a reset with the app and still get 3G only. Swapped SIMS card to a different LTE ATT mobile plan and it reads 3G only as well. When I put the LTE sim in a hot spot I get LTE speeds.

      I moved the account to a new sim card and this correct the problem. It went back to LTE.

         wish that both the LB1120 and LB2120 had the ability to limit the connection method.  I have several Netgear DC112A+815S setups and it is weird that an older, EOL cradle can choose Any Band, 3G, 4G, 4GLTE Only ( or something like that) while a newer dedicated LTE modem doesn't have that functionality.  There is a "Network Selection Mode" status, but if we can't change it from "Automatic" I am not sure why they show it.

         

        I opened a Feature Request thread for it, but I haven't even gotten a "you posted this in the wrong place" message.
