Nighthawk M1 - selection of LTE Frequency/Band
Hello there, is there any way to select the LTE Band/Frequency the router should log on to? This would really help to avoid switching from a "good" cell to a bad one. With Huawei Routers I can do th...
2.5 Mbps download, 17.6 Mbps upload on band 20.
39.7 Mbps download, 11.9 on band 3.
Download speed is generally more important than upload for most conventional applications.
Edit: 39.7 Mbps download, 11.9 Mbps upload on band 3.
Just to add a little context, while the device was connected using band 20, the signal strength indicator was showing 4/5, whereas while connected using band 3, the signal strength was showing 2/5.
So the connection using band 3 was actually yielding a substantially superior download speed despite the fact that signal strength was apparently half that of the connection using band 20.
Does anyone have a fix for this problem? I'm located in a rural area and my Nighthawk M1 is paper weight at the moment. I tried directional antenna but that has not fix the problem... I wish Netgear would do something about this. We did pay for a product that is extremely useless at the moment.They could make the changes to the software but they rather us suffer.lets see what they have to say now
Good luck, we all wish you well. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Most "mainstream" USA devices do not permit this funtionality or the major carriers have lobbied for it to be turned off / hidden.
Hello all. I bought a router 3 days ago. I am very disappointed that you can not choose the LTE band :( There is no information on what band the router has aggregation. ; ( My current software: MR1100-100EUS_04.01.67.00 I called the netgear service in Poland. I did not learn anything. The website said that something might change in the future software. I was disappointed with the capabilities of this router :( Like colleagues formerly Huawei routers for $ 70 have this function. Question for netgear programmers: when is the new software for my version of the router?
