Nighthawk M1 FDD Bands blocked by STC Carrier!

Dear NETGEAR moderators, We are using NETGEAR M1 in Saudi Arabia. All FDD bands were deliberately closed by STC. We only have a 2300 frequency (BAND40) and it’s very weak in Saudi Arabia. We kindly ask you to assist us in removing the unjust frequency blocking. By helping us change the IMEI or update the firmware to solve the problem.

      hi all 

      thanks khalid for raising up this issue to NETGEAR.

       

               in addition to Mr.Khalid, STC dont have this right to do so according to their service agreement subscription.

      thats mean, they abuse our rghits and effecting NETGEAR reputions as well .

       

      Regards
