    Hi Everyone,

    As of now, Selecting a band for the M1 is not possible yet. The feature has been forwarded to my internal team and they are reviewing for consideration. :]

      I feel ripped off I paid a lot of money for this mobile hotspot for it to crash every movie everything I stream every download every time because it keeps jumping to band 30 which gets one bar And no data! Fix it!

        It's crazy that they don't allow you to choose bands.  Where are we with this request.  What's really annoying is that this thing is advertised as the fastest thing known to man yet it only achieves 25% of the speed that my phone does!  If I reset it then it will sometimes get the same as my phone but it's only a matter of time before it drops back.  My guess is that it's to do with the band.  I'm stuck in B3.

        Hi all

        Sometimes my M1 stays stucked with the B20 band (the worst were i live)

        I use this tweak that is working with me

        I open the netgear android app, then i go to settings, then Network, and on "network mode" i switch to "manual"

        The M1 then starts to check every band/internet provider and i think that it also test the speed of each band

        Then i select manually my internet provider and then if i go to "advance info" i can confirm that it normally selects other band, and never the B20 (usually the B3 that in my region is much faster). That´s why i think that in manual mode it also tests the speed

        Try this simple tweak just to check if the M1 selects other Band

        Hope i helped
