Unlocked MR6500 and 5G Band N78 (3.5MHz)
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2023 9:52 am
Greetings. I am off to the Philippines in a few weeks, and would like to get my unlocked MR6500 ready to work with the 5G bands there. Globe and Smart utilize 5G band N78 (3.5GHz) and N41 (2.6GHz) there. The Netgear specs for the MR6500 list N78 as a supported band for 5G Sub-6. But, when I telnet into the device and issue the at !band=? command, band N78 does not appear (see output of the command attached).
My question is, can I add this band into the unit or are the specs from Netgear not correct? Here are the details of the MR6500 I have:
Model: MR6500-1A1NAS
H/W: 1.0
F/W: NTGX65_10.04.22.01 1/11/23
Modem Ver: MPSS.DE.1.0-02593-OLYMPIC_GENALL_PACK-1
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance that can be provided.
