Hello,

I have been using the Archer NX600 for a few days, and overall the router performs very well in terms of stability, band management, and Wi‑Fi strength.

I have a professional Pointing external antenna with Hyperflex 10 cables, and I previously used the Deco X3000 5G for about a year. Despite the high speeds achieved with the Deco (minimum 350 Mbps, maximum 700 Mbps), the connection was never completely stable, even with excellent signal. The Deco’s processor likely could not optimally handle packet management, causing occasional delays or stuttering when using Teams, banking apps (Klarna), or streaming.

Now, with the NX600, I have noticed a significant improvement:

More efficient band management

Overall better stability

Faster response of devices (Alexa, TV, etc.)

Constant signal even at idle

However, I have encountered a critical issue regarding 5G cell management:

I have two nearby BTS: one about 300 m away and one about 1200 m away.

The router automatically connects to the nearest BTS (300 m), which is less performant than the one at 1200 m.

Currently, it is not possible to force connection to a specific BTS (Cell Lock), as was possible with my previous X3000 5G.

I would kindly like to know:

Whether the Cell Lock feature is planned for a future firmware update.

If there are any advanced methods (even undocumented) to force connection to a specific BTS.

Confirmation whether the NX600 hardware technically supports this function.

I believe this feature is essential for advanced users with external antennas or environments with multiple nearby BTS.

I hope the technical team will seriously consider this request and provide precise guidance regarding the firmware roadmap.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Best regards,
