Hi, are you using automatic band selection or manual band selection? and what is the band on Advanced->Status page when it works on 4G and also 4G+?

Besides, whether it works on 4G or 4G+ is actually decided by the network side, so we are unable to force it staying on 4G or 4G+ all the time.

For comparison, could you please insert the same SIM card into another 4G+ device(recommend Cat6 product since MR600 is Cat6 as well)? Then please check if it works on 4G or 4G+ and which band(s) it uses.

For smartphones, you could refer to: How to check the 4G band working on our smartphones

By the way, who is your ISP please?

@Sunshine

Hello thanks for answer,

My ISP is TurkTelekom, i am using manual selection, only B3. I think my nearby base station supports 4G+ and somehow 4G is better than 4G+ in my location. As you know MR600 supports CAT6 and it makes possible to connect 4G+. If I knew my situation, I bought MR400 because i dont want to connect 4G+.

I need a setting for force to stay always on 4G. If you can do this, i would be very grateful.

one suggestion: we have network mode selection in Network -> Internet. Perhaps you can add a 4th option here. (3G Only, 4G Only, 4G+ Only, 4G Preffered) and i will choose 4G only and disable 4G+ if it is possible.
