Nighthawk M1 - selection of LTE Frequency/Band

"is there any way to select the LTE Band/Frequency the router should log on to?"

this has been previously requested.  for me personally, i don't care about signal strength meters or signal bars.  all i care about is the most stable, highest performing experience.

for example, a "one bar" high performance band can easily out perform a "five bar" low performance band.  for most end users the best bet is to let the Nighthawk LTE hotspot make the band decision based on real-time actual data throughput.  things get more complex when we start talking about multiband CA.  complexity beyond what a normal user is going to want to decipher.

a concern that been raised multiple times is the current Nighthawk LTE hotspot rapid unwanted switching back and forth between bands.  "Excellent" signal one minute, "poor" signal next minute, "Excellent" signal the next.  This causes unnecessary confusion for end users looking in the Nighthawk GUI interface.  There are better ways for Netgear to communicate what is happening on the LTE hotspot.

End users are looking at this signal strength info, bars info, "Excellent" vs "Poor" trying to dial in their Nighthawk LTE hotspot to the best performance.  That said why not just show end users the performance numbers they are really interested in to begin with.  Skip all the signal bars and other stuff that is causing the confusion.

Average Download Mbps Last 10 minutes = 55.90

Average Download Mbps Last 5 minutes = 64.33

Average Download Mbps Last 1 minute = 5.90

Average Upload Mbps Last 10 minutes = 12.71

Average Upload Mbps Last 5 minutes = 31.39 

Average Upload Mbps Last 1 minute = 3.32

This tells us the real world info we need.  A few minutes of data is all that is needed if the Nighthawk is light on resources.  Why AT&T cell towers constantly flip end users between Excellent and Poor signals is an interesting technical discussion, but we can't control that.  What we as end users can control is moving our Nighthawk LTE hotspot around until we get the highest Mbps readout possible.  This real world Average Mbps data would allow us to do that with high confidence.
