Can I use my Telstra Orbi LRB1020 with an Optus Sim?

According to my NetGear account the product I have is a LBR1020 but I can only find LBR1220 and 1120 models so I am assuming it is a Telstra own branded product.

Anyway I want to move from Telstra to Optus. Can I use the Optus sim card in the Orbi. I have tried but it didn't work. If it does work how can I connect to the service?

The User Manual for the LB1120 page 7 says that it supports LTE bands 2,4,5,and 12.

  Optus inidicates that it uses band 12, but there is a mention of checking by area?

The model number is usually printed on the product label.
