No Carrier Aggregation icon on LED Display or Apps or WebApps

Hi.. I cannot find any icon or status show my modem is doing carrier aggregation. On LCD, it just dispaly 4G all the time. Same also in WebApp and Android Apps.. no icon or status show carrier aggregation or 4G+. It very hard to know my modem get 4G+. Sometimes I need to do speedtest to find best spot to park my modem.. and it waste my 4G data. The only way to know is by using telnet AT command. But need a pc connection

 

Most android phone have 4G+ or LTE-A. This features is simple, but very usefull information for users. It is easy for users to locate/find the best spot to park the modem, since M1 is portable. As we know.. 4G+ vs 4G give different speed result. Nowdays .. most cat 6 or above lte modem show 4G+ like Huawei, TP-Link. Hopefully Netgear team can enable 4G+ status on LCD/webapps/apps. Thank you.

    Hi Azmann,

     

    Totally agree.  I wish Netgear gave us more info.  If you connect the hotspot to a laptop via USB, and telnet into the MR1100 (port 5510 if I recall correctly).  You can get more details info by issuing
