Nighthawk LTE hotspot + poor band decisions
I am in the United States. I purchased the Nighthawk LTE hotspot directly from AT&T. I am in rural location. Without an external antenna, the Nighthawk LTE hotspot always connected to the same cell...
For example, the AT&T Nighthawk LTE hotspot originally shipped with LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 29, 30, and 66. Bands may be added/deleted in the future via firmware updates. In the Nighthawk web console the end user could be prompted to "allow" certain bands by marking "X" next to those bands.
[X] Band 1
[ ] Band 2
[X] Band 3
[X] Band 4
etc.
In the above example, the end user has removed the "X" next to "Band 2" indicating the end user does not want the Nighthawk to use Band 2.
