The <b>network frequency bands</b> section provides the possibility to manually choose which frequency band the router's module should use for the cellular connection.
 +
 
 +
Simply select <i>Manual</i> connection method and check the bands that you want the module to use. If all bands are unchecked, the band that provides the best connectivity will be used.

Available network frequency bands may differ based on router modem module. More information about router module supported network frequency bands: https://www.quectel.com/product/ec25.htm

Information about router's modem module can be found by going to <i>Status → [[{{{name}}}_Device|Device Information]]</i> page and checking FW Version field.
