Evening all,
First I'd need to say I'm totally new to this! I have a MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM8-COMBO 4G/LTE Router hardwired to a netgear nighthawk r7000. I'm using an ATT cell sim. I've upgraded to the newest firmware. Getting decent speeds, typically 30 down 25 up on band 2. When I run cellmapper it's showing the mofi is connected to a Verizon tower and my personal att cell phone connects to the att tower. When I run a speed test on my phone I get around 90 down and 40 up(band 2) I don't know why the mofi won't pickup the att tower. I have it set to att...any help is appreciated.

Re: Help with Mofi4500
The SIM 8 is capable of speeds upwards of 80-90Mbps but unless your cell phone is over 5 years old its likely more than twice the capability of the SIM8 modem (Sierra MC7411 - Category 7). I modern cell phone that gets 90 likely means your router is getting close to all it can get. Maybe not, but maybe so.
I would focus on making sure your signal level/power (RSRP) is as good as can be (sub 80 dBi is the goal) and the signal quality as well ( SINR over 10 if possible, the higher the better for SINR)
