3.1 Locking to a specific band

You may want to lock the router to a specific band. To do this, click on the "Internet Settings" menu followed by "WWAN (3G)" and then the
"Band / Provider" menu item on the right..
You may want to do this if you're using the router in a country with multi frequency networks that may not all support HSPA. You can select
the router to only connect on the network frequencies that suit your requirements.
Make your selection from the "Change Band:" drop down list.
The following band settings options are applicable.

Click "Save" to confirm your new band settings.
NOTE: After changing the band, if the change is not reflected on the frequency field on the "Status" page then you may need to reboot the unit.

3.2 Choosing your provider manually

The default setting is "Automatic". To scan manually for available cellular network operators (providers) follow the following steps:
If you are currently connected to the internet, disconnect your session and ensure "Auto Connect" is disabled in the current cellular
connection profile you are using (You can check this by clicking on the "Internet Settings" menu followed by "WWAN (3G)" and then
the "Connection" menu item on the right).
Select the operator mode "Manual"
Click on the "Scan" button. A list of cellular operators in the vicinity of your router should appear below.
Select your chosen provider from the list of detected operators and click the "Apply" button.
The router will then use the chosen operator to attempt to connect to the cellular service profile you have elected to use.
