- Hom00InitiateSame issue here, I have 2 M1 hotspots and now they are working on 3g only !
hello, yes my device got the same problem now, the nighthawk m1 is not working with 4G frequency, it only connects to 3G which sucks.
i even bought a netgear orbi from amazon to use them together, now BOTH of them are useless!
please give us a solution to do something about this.
other Huawei routers can do something about this by changing the IMEI.
but on netgear routers we cant do that, please.
we payed alot of money for netgear devices and now they're not usable.

I have the same problem with my router (AC810S)
and alot of my friends in saudi Arabia had this problem, and this is too bad for netgear routers especially when it comes very popular in our country and there's alot of people who they are looking for netgear routers. We hope that you are going to solve this problem.
- gaid2010Guide
the same issue :(
when NetGear router became the best in the region, they began to find ways to block all LTE frequencies from it, We hope you find a solution .. Huawei Router has several solutions to solve the problem.
- SaadoooooInitiateYeah me too .. i have M1 MR1100-100eus and it’s locked with 2300 band only and it’s not supporting the 4G+ anymore !!
Hope you give us a way to change the imei to solve this problem and in meanwhile the Huawei modem can !
Don’t let Huawei beat you guys :)- ErnestTheGreatNETGEAR Employee Retired
@Saadooooo and rest of the users,
NETGEAR has not received any communication from STC as to why NETGEAR devices are being blocked in this region. If STC has had a policy change to not allow devices that are not specifically manufactured for them on their network or has decided to ban FDD bands/devices from the network, unfortunately, that is beyond our control. We recommend that customers of STC contact STC directly and request an explanation as to why their device is being blocked.
If Huawei is providing instructions to change IMEI please understand this is highly unethical and illegal and we strongly discouraged this as a solution. IMEI manipulation is considered an unethical/illegal solution to the STC problem.
NETGEAR as a company operates with extremely high ethical standards and will not provide any solutions that are unethical and go against what NETGEAR stands for and believes in.

It is possible that because of the signing of the agreement between stc and other competing companies stc blocked the frequencies from the devices other than those companies that signed agreements with me I also owned a product of one of these companies, which has not been blocked frequencies and still working

Hope Netgear company hear their customer in Saudi Arabia As STC blocked these model to use LTE except 2300 band and to have a way to change the IMEI like Huwawei Company..
My device is netgear MR1100EU

Gents,
we are so angry regarding this matter and we believe you will provide the solution asap. I think changing the imei will solve the issue.
but we want a fast and permanent solution for this issue.
you are providing the amazing product but if the service provider block most of 4G bands this will degrade this product and make it useless and this something I don't think it is acceptable by Netgear.
looking forward to hearing from you asap.
