 Hi Teewee4134

 

If you are using the Telstra MR1100 then you will never see 4G+ RAT icon as this was never implemented on this SKU.  The only way you can determine your device is doing carrier aggregation is if you are seeing over 150Mbps on the downlink.

 

Kind Regards,

Re: MR1100

Please apply some network traffic (speedtest or file download) and check the RAT symbol again.

Re: MR1100

RAT means Radio Access Technology, Symbols like 4G, 4G+ are RAT symbols indicating network technology used.. It may be possible that basestation could have some configuration issue which prevents CA activation, license issue etc. Maybe you have to check this from your local cell operator if you think it is necessary.

Re: MR1100

Thanks for the info I now understand what RAT means. I would believe that the base station is working well the reason been I have two devices AirCard 810S it shows (4G+) but the Nighthawk M1 only shows (4G). Both have same local sim

Re: MR1100

Then you should be able to check MR1100 AT!GSTATUS? listing to see what is happening with primary and secondary component carriers.

Re: MR1100

Question
I observed something the RS-SINR on my Nighthawk M1 is 0dBm and it doesn’t change
but my Aircard 810 it changes 17dBm or 12dBm or 10dBm

See my results below
I use the netgear mobile app to log into both routers:
AirCard 810S Advanced info for Signal Quality
RSRP -86dBm
RSRQ -11dBm
RS-SINR 14dBM


Nighthawk M1 Advanced info for Signal Quality
RSRP -102dBm
RSRQ -13dBm
RS-SINR 0dBM

Re: MR1100

Re: MR1100

Because of security policies have been tightened up lately, telnet cannot be used anymore( port is closed). However there is still a way to use AT-commands. I think you should send a private message to some Netgear Community Experts to get more help. Or they may have an alternative solution for your problem.
