I do not see in my rut950 option band select

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Sorry for the long response time. You can find the option in Network -> Mobile -> General, and it will be under the Network Frequency Bands section. You must set the connection method from Auto to Manual.

I have just got my RUTX12 yesterday, so i'm gratefull for your videos. Can i ask you where i can fin all the documentation about my RUTX12 in english and better in French ?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Thank you for the video! Is there a physical switch where I can push on/off the wifi without logging in?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Hello. No, Teltonika Networks do not have physical WiFi switches. But you can have different configurations and, with the help of the calendar, load them, for example, WiFi ON during the day. And OFF during the night.

2:32 - is that frequency matched with those band number are fix and remain same on other country?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

In different countries, different providers use various bands. Here you find more information on frequency bands of the Teltonika Networks devices: wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/Frequency_Bands If you are traveling from one country to another, you must ensure that the band is used in that particular country.

How to lock to a specific Cell? Is there a field there to input prefered eNB i.e. to which the router should try to stick to?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Bank locking is usually enough to connect to the best tower. There is no option to connect to a specific cell.

[@per.edstrom]

@@TeltonikaNetworks We have sereral towers in the same direction in a Skiresort. A very low-angle Yagi might work but a lock on Cell ID would be useful anyway.

[@roxlylaurd2770]

Hi, My internet speed becomes faster when I locked it into a specific band- thanks to you! 👍However does it consumes more data?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Thank you for your comment. With faster Internet speeds, your content will load faster, but the data consumption will remain the same.

[@othman0077]

me too I got faster speed test I locked to Band 3 because of FDM

Thank you for the enlightenment.

[@DineshKumar-bs7gp]

hi, this was a great video, thanks for sharing with us. I am using tp-link and was having tough time having a good connection. So tried locking among 1,3,5 bands. It gets connected but I still see 30-40 seconds of ping timeouts intermittently. What could be the problem, network, the router, or something else?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

First of all, you find out what your operator supports bands. Next, using a phone and cell connection apps, figure out which is the closest cell tower and what bands your phone uses to connect. Then you will be sure you are connecting to the correct bands, and you should get a better signal. Also, when pinging, make sure the target server is close to your location.

Good evening. Am living in Jamaica and I use Digicel. However, Digicel Jamaica used 4G LTE 700mhz band 17. So please help me on which device I can purchase online to use?

@Teltonika Hello, it is possible to lock 5G NSA band on RUTX50?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

The term "NSA band" refers to "non-standalone" 5G, which means that it uses existing 4G infrastructure to provide 5G services. And there a multiple bands thant for example work with RUTX50 - 5G NR NSA: n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n28, n38, n40, n41, n77, n78 So, you can lock to a specific band as described in the video.

[@AndrewHume-ho1ej]

Great run down and info in band selection. Just wish my b315 b618 or smart modem 3 had an easy way to band select as they dont

I cannot find this setting with the newest update. Where is the band selection setting located now? I just purchased this rutx11 and I'm new to the ui

Hello great video. I have a X11 getting fairly good signal and down (30)and up (7),speeds. Better than ISP provided 5/2 speeds on their modem. Problem is even with 5x the download now Netflix and Peloton workouts buffering like crazy. Never happened on ISP modem. Any suggestions. FYI X11 on pass-through. As we have a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro as main router ( same and with ISP (modem) although ISP modem did not have ability to provide pass-through or bridge. So it was double NAT

Hello. You can enable Passthrough on RUTX11 - wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTX11_WAN#Mobile:_General_Settings In Mobile: General Settings - select Mode as Passthrough.

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Great! Glad you were able to figure it out. Enabling the advanced settings can enables a lot of options and settings.

[@kneeland84]

Can I select a few or just one at a time?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

You should experiment with selections on which bands give you the best results. Selecting one band will force the device to use that specific band. Selecting several will allow switching between them.

[@midteknologi]

possible to lock different band for upload and download for example i am need use band B40 For Download And Band B3 FOr Upload ? Thanks

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

No, it is not possible. You set your LTE modem to work on a specific band so everything will work on the same band. Unless you are using a device like RUTX12 which has two modems: teltonika-networks.com/product/rutx12/

[@SWEDISHBOATING]

I use RUT X11 in our boat. We travel around and get all type of different connections and bands. It would be great if Teltonika would have an option that check if GPS position is not moving after 10 minutes and then start to test different bands to see what station I should use. There is global speed test pages and API's to use for a solution like that. If you know any terminal/bash command I can change band with, I could code that solution myself. ( I already have some own code running on X11 for some of my projects)

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Greetings, we have forwarded the suggestion to our development team.

Hello. We plan to release devices supporting these technologies in the future.

[@siowxsen]

Any android app that can measure and determine what is the best and stable network band？I have two unit of RUT240, the speed is big different with my mobile speed. Appreciate if anyone can share the app and troubleshooting method. Thanks😊

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Sadly, we cannot recommend a specific app for network measurement; however, a quick online search should yield plenty of options for you to choose from. Concerning your RUT240 units, we advise keeping the firmware up to date to benefit from the latest improvements and fixes. It is also important to ensure your device is located in an optimal position for the best signal coverage. Lastly, enabling the software offloading in your firewall settings may boost network performance. Hope it helps!

[@siowxsen]

@@TeltonikaNetworks can share the steps to enable the offload at firewall？

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

@@siowxsen To enable the software offloading navigate to device WebUI -> Network -> Firewall -> General settings, there you should see the Routing/NAT offloading

Why i have locked in band 3 for long time. Its good connection. But suddenly it loses connection But i switch to band 28 and i got connection. It is the same ISP. Only band 3 lose connection. What is the reason?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

There could be several reasons why you were experiencing such issues. It can be affected by interference from other devices or it is also possible that there may be network congestion, which can occur during peak usage times.

can i just lock only one band?

[@TeltonikaNetworks]

Greetings. You can select one or several bands according to your specific use-case.

[@VTwin4Christ]

For mobile solutions... I really wish someone would create an app that would detect the best band and select that one VS the closest band that may be near capacity. Sometimes a worse signal but better throughput may be the best solution

[@level8473]

That's not really practical, since the "best" band rn would'nt be the best band later as it gets congested

there is no reason to connect to the highest frequency band just because it is the highest frequency band. What matters is available bandwidth and congestion, you didn't make that clear.
