MR1100-1A1NAS AT commands for CA on Bands 12 and 66?

[gettinold]

Hi,

With a great learning curve I used putty to keep the subject router on Band 66 as this yields the best download speeds in my situation with an external antenna pointed in what I believe to be the best possible direction using Network Cell Info Lite.

I can't find the correct information on the internet anywhere to aggregate bands 12 and 66. What I am finding a bit more difficult is that band 66 requires an extra 0 in the string or it will simply go to band 2 which I definitely don't want. I am ok with just band 66 but I would like to aggregate with Band 12 as well since the signal is strongest but the download speeds are terrible.

I have been able to band lock to 66 with the below string but have not been able to figure it out for the combination thereof. I tried NV calculator but I am having a difficult time understanding how to even use it.

Successful string for band 66 lock:

AT!BAND=03,"LTE B66",0,0,2

This is what I tried for band 66 and 12 CA:

AT!BAND=05,"AGG1264"00000000000000800,0,0,2

IT did say ok upon entry but noticed no CA. Is this right or am I off somewhere?

Is CA always better if other bands aren't working so great in my situation?

Thanks!

Alright, set it for all bands as per the string below and now I am getting CA for 66 and 12 but it appears slower than just Band 66 alone.


AT!BAND=01,"All Bands",4C00000,20003000285F,2 was what I used.

I think I read somewhere that you can't aggregate B66 with anything else (you can create it but CA will ignore B66) so it may never be swapping out of B12. There could be another way and I'd love to hear about it as I've ran into the same problem.

Hi!

HHHHow can I unlock all bands`
Thanks

all bands are enabled by firmware already so unless yours has had the bands locked to specific bands then all the bands it can see are enabled by default.
You can see below the bands by sku (taken from the netgear webpage)

Edit: despite what that says it works fine on verizon with some mods.
