Hi Blanca_O ! ,
Thank you for response.
By the way, I have 2 Routers of MR5100-1Z1MES1, old and new firmware.
For firmware 10.12.13.0 & 10.28.02.00 there's many Issues :
1- You cannot change band region from the router screen, you shall to navigate to 192.168.1.1 or Netgear app to change It !
2- Unstable of speed , ping , jitter, RSRP, RSRQ, SINR.
3- Switch connect from LTE+ to 5G always every couple of minutes.
4- The carrier name replaced from your ISP to unknow. EX: Zain to unknow.
5- There's some very important AT! Command It's gave you error ! Like: AT!BAND=04,"1800",0,4 It's give you error sometimes.
With the new firmware 12.04.12.01 :
1- You can change band region from the router screen !
2- Stable of speed , ping , jitter, RSRP, RSRQ, SINR.
3- Stable connection of 5G and It's not switch to LTE+ like old firmware.
4- The carrier name correct always.
5- AT! Command Works fine without any error ! So, you can add band frequency without any Issue.
