As per the What cellular bands are supported by MR1100 Nighthawk M1 Mobile Router? the band 20 is 4G LTE supported on most model variants, except of the Telstra Australia version.

Thank you for your reply,
my Nighthawk model is: MR1100-100NAS, and according to the tech-specs (from your link) it supports Band 20.
Although according to Netgear's MR1100 homepage tech-specs Band 20 is not supported:
https://www.netgear.com/home/products/mobile-broadband/mobilerouters/MR1100.aspx#tab-techspecs
In fact, my MR1100 does not work at all when in areas transmitting over Band 20.
Any idea whether a Firmware update could solve the issue?
Thank you again,

Wild guess is that the available channels (and the carrier aggregation) is indeed part of the firmware provided config data.
Blanca_O please bring some light to this difference in the tech data - especially the apparent absence of the Band 20 (certainly in use for LTE in the US) and the inconsistency in the tech specs and the KB.
