Few feature requests for MR1100 EUS

Hello! I have used the device for two months now. Following features would be nice to have:

 

  • More comprehensive signal info to the diagnostics page, like working SINR , MCS,  Modulation (both DL and UL for each CC  , list of CC with sufficient signal info, like on telnet console.
  • Amount of used data -counter is zeroing after a SIM-card swap. Please make it persist longer.
  • LTE band locking. Sometimes it's just needed to lock the band manually. Logic of the radio network should do, but sometimes automatic systems just fails. This is a problem when you are in a rural area where are both B3 and B20 signals available, while B3 is unusable low/poor in quality. The device likes to choose it despite the fact data connection fails or DL/UL speeds are very poor compared to the B20, which is available.

 

 

And I have found some bugs too:

 

  • WIFI performance is poor if you are using Samsung smartphones. S6, S8 and S9 (exynos variants) are confirmed to have bad wifi speeds on Netgear, both 2,4 and 5GHz. This means ~50% lower speeds than on other devices (Qualcomm Snapdragon powered smartphones, laptops with Intel Wifi chips...)

 

  • Sometimes device faces  a sudden crash. It doesn't count if I'm actively using the device at the moment of crash or not. Device just shuts down itself and replacing a battery is needed to get it back working. Crashdump shows following info:
