Hi,

I currently have the issue that my Deco is connecting to 4G automatically, even though I set the 4G/5G option to "5G preferred".

One could think that 5G is just not available but when I set it to "Only 4G", wait a few seconds (then it often switches bands from B28 to B28,B1 or just B1) and then set it to "5G preferred" again, it either instantly connects to 5G (N78, SA) or it loses connection (shows red led), then connects to 5G.

This sometimes happens during the day and almost (99%) of the time after rebooting it.

So the issue is that 5G seems to be available but it does not connect to it, even though 5G is set to preferred.

Some background information:

- I have the Deco since two years, problem occured usually less frequently (every few weeks) to now daily

- I scheduled to auto restart it every day at 4 am

- I use an external antenna (without it, it would not even get a solid 4G connection)

- Band is set to auto

- Cell lock is disabled for 4G but enabled for 5G (N78, 30 kHz) since there is only a single SA 5G tower here and it often connects to NSA 5G otherwise

- Vodafone, no custom DNS set, data roaming off, 5G signal strength usually at -106 dBm RSRP, -3 dB RSRQ, 14 dB SNR with a speed of ~250 Mbit/s down and ~20 Mbit/s up for 5G. ~1-20 Mbit/s down with 4G

I hope this can be fixed somehow because it is really annoying having to set it to 4G, then 5G again every morning.

Thanks
