Netgear MR1100-2A1NAS - unlocked?

Is there a way I can tell if my MR1100-2A1NAS is already unlocked?

I'm expecting to get a T-Mobile SIM from my provider to replace an ATT SIM. I noticed that I can go to Settings/Advanced/Cellular then select Network Selection. I can select different carriers from a list (ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, and a couple of others). Does this mean my router is unlocked and I don't need an "unlock code"?

 

Thanks in advance for assistance.

    Hi smorytko

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    If you have an AT&T modem made by NETGEAR and see that it is locked to work with AT&T SIM card. The AT&T Communication Manager displays a message such as “Wireless device is locked” or will ask for the unlock/MEP code. If you can connect to T-Mobile network without entering the code then device is already unlocked.
