Model: Deco X50-5G  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Sometimes Deco X50-5G might be switching between different Band combinations, Cell Lock helps to manually set Deco X50-5G to the desired band combination to improve the network speed and stability.

 

To enable it, you need to enter ARFCN (EARFCN for 4G and NRARFCN for 5G) and the corresponding PCI of the desired LTE/5G Cell, which can be found under Deco APP>More>Internet.

*If the current Cell ID is not what you want to lock, you could refer to How to Find a Good 5G Network Environment for Deco X50-5G to find another Service Cell with better signals.

 

 

After finding the desired Service Cell, Cell Lock can be enabled under Deco APP>More>Internet>Cell Lock.

  @David-TP 

I have configured cell lock however my Deco keeps switching to 3G. 
If I reset the Deco then it connects back to the 5G which is cell locked.

My question is why does the Deco switch to 3G when it's cell locked and why does the Deco not switch back to 5G which is available?

This use to happen every few days so I configured the Deco to reset every night at around 3:00. Now this happens every week to 2 weeks.

thank you for your help.

Keith
