  1. Thank you for that information. That is really helpful to know. Just a practical question. What is the point of even allowing the reprioritization of the scanning order if it's going to scan all two or three bands anyways, and then park you where it wants?
  2. I wanted to post an update on this product. Once you have the MSL code you can go into the advanced network setup where it allows you to disable/prioritize different bands. Unfortunately this submenu appears completely broken and useless to me on this device. I've been reading how band 26 was supposed to be the best thing next to sliced bread for penetration and propagations so I purchased a grid antenna that is specifically tuned to 806Mhz to 896Mhz. I went into the menu and set band 26 to priority 1, band 41 to priority 2 (I don't have it on my tower anyways), and band 25 to priority 3. I still connect to band 25! Band 25 does not have the option to be disabled like the other two bands, but the router still locks on band 25 even when dropped to 3rd. They REALLY want you to use band 25. They only time I've been able to get band 26 is when using the supplied small antennas. If this router even sniffs band 25 you will trump band 26. I have no idea how it functions in the presence of band 41. It looks like I need to purchase an antenna specifically targeted to band 25 to get the best performance possible.
  3. I'll give that another look. For some reason I thought it only displayed the stats of the currently connected band which for me is always band 25. Did you find a better option? I like the unit overall. It's definitely cleaner than having a usb modem hanging off a router. WiFi is very speedy. I do have strange issues with a couple applications when on 4G. My VPN will disconnect intermittently, and an old online game called everquest locks up and crashes when moving from one area of the game world to another. If I put the router in 3G mode the programs work fine.
  4. Hello fellow sprinters I recently purchased a 6100D myself. I have a couple questions and I'm looking for a couple suggestions. My nearest tower is five miles away and has band 25/26 LTE installed. I'm using an external parabolic antenna that gets me between -95 and -97 rsrp. I'm locked in on band 25. Is there any screen in the 6100D that will allow me to see what my current band 26 signal is at? I'm planning on doing some antenna mast upgrades this spring to help clear a hill and obtain direct los to the tower. Would it be advantageous to get an antenna geared for band 26? Thanks for the great forum
