I'm network and software engineer, among other things, and really didnt need that 101 class, or any "cliarifications". In my area, my carrier just upgraded the cell towers in 2018 with the newest hardware available, and all towers here support multiple carrier aggregation. When I say "mulltiple" I dont mean 2 or 3 - I mean enough to max out all nighthawks CA capabilities. Your speculation that CAT20 LTE radio is only 2-3%, or even 10% faster than CAT16 is unfounded and incorrect. Look up LTE category specifications, specifically supported speeds, before posting.
Either way, I'm not interested in an argument, or even in a discussion - I posted in the thread with the sole purpose to have my 2 questions answered by Netgear staff (Hi Blanca_O , how you doin'? :smileylol:), not to get opinions/speculations from users. Would have used live chat support, in order to avoid exactly this type of "chiming in" from regular users, if Netgear provided one.
Apollon you know YOU can always choose NOT to respond to "regular users" "chiming in". Otherwise you are only encouraging the silly unwashed plebs to engage with your higher intellect...
