What LTE module is used in the LM1200 and the LBR20?
I'm looking for specific device specs on the LM11200, LAX20, and LBR20.
I'm looking for what the chipset and LTE module are used in the above listed Model Netgear products. Primarily so I can check compatibility on CDMA AT&T, T-mobile, Verizon networks. Verizon doesn't have any of these device's listed on their website, and I can only search by approved chipsets/ modules.
Before wasting money like I did with the MR1100 and LB1120, I'd like to confirm the modules currently certified with those networks to hopefully avoid buying a product which will no longer be supported on a network (cough cough MR1100). If you own one of these devices and are comfortable taking off the housing to read the brand LTE module and the model# of that branded module, that would be fantastic! Unfortunatly neither tech or pre-sales support lines know this information as I'm sure neither department even knows the differences and various types of LTE modules in use in 4G LTE modem and router products on the market.

I am often mistaken, but my sense is that CDMA is being shut down by Verizon (and any other carrier that had it) and that LTE is the only thing supported.
This web site shows the LTE bands supported by the LBR20:
https://wdi.rfwel.com/wireless-devices-info/orbi-lbr20-netgear-4g-lte-wi-fi
and this shows which LTE bands are used by each carrier:
The product data sheet claims compatibility with AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and not Sprint.

The FCC submission shows pictures of many components:

This says the modem is by Quectel:

which I believe was one of the chips in the FCC pictures
I stumbled across a website months ago that listed chipsets in various products, but cannot seem to reproduce the Google search that found it.
