  From what I can figure out the AT command adds to the band region drop down menu.
  
  So AT!BAND=03,"LTE B20 ONLY",0000000000000000,0000000000080000
  
  Adds the word lte b20 at drop down position 3
  
  I then made a string for the the other bands
  
  AT!BAND=04,"LTE B20 ONLY",0000000000000000,0000000000000004
  
  I had to use a proper code editor as my text editor adding control character.
  
  Let me know how you get on.
  
  1) Connect M1 via USB and switch off WiFi in your PC so that there is no IP conflicts
  
  2) Using PUTTY or any Telnet utility, Telnet 192.168.1.1 Port: 5510
  
  3) Issue the following AT commands(you can copy and paste them, one at a time)
  
  AT!BAND=03,"LTE B20 ONLY",0000000000000000,0000000000080000
  
  AT!RESET
  
  Once the device resumes, go to GUI/App -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Cellular -> in the Band Region drop down you will now have one additional option called "LTE B20 ONLY"
  
  Select that option to force to B20 only.

    Does this persist after a reboot of the device or do you have to re-issue the AT commands each time?
