Cell Lock on Deco X50-5G in Spain
I'm using Digi Mobil in Spain as my mobile network provider, and I want to cell lock my X50-5G router to 5G Band B20 using NRARFCN 633984 and PCI in 5G NR 116 (first image). However, when I select Cell Lock > 5G, I am only presented with a list of 'N' bands to choose from (second image). Does this mean I can't Cell Lock to a 'B' band?

Hi, welcome to the community.
I think the Cell Lockf feature can't identify 5G SA and NSA bands. For now, it only supports searching for 5G SA bands when 5G is selected and LTE bands when 4G is selected.
There is a beta firmware that might help with the current issue. I've left it via private message and please help me test whether it helps.
Thank you very much and best regards.

I have updated to the beta firmware on the router but unfortunately this does not seem to have helped. I can still only see 'N' bands listed in the Deco app when I select 5G Cell Lock

Hi, Thanks for the update.
Have you ever checked whether 4G mode over band 20 performs similarly to 5G NSA mode over band 20 in network speed and stability?
If the beta version doesn't help, I'm afraid we might need to wait for an official release that allows locking to LTE bands under 5G NSA service.
Best regards.

Unfortuantley the speed I get over 4G is significantly slower than 5G. On 4G B20 I get no more than 60 - 70 Mbps, whereas on 5G B20 I can get 600 Mbps or more, so locking to 4G isn't really feasible
I am happy to wait for a future firmware update to add support for 5G NSA, but could you confirm if this is on the development roadmap, or at least logged with the dev team as a feature request
