Most devices automatically select the best available band based on signal strength and network congestion.

How to find operator code?
 
Go to status=> modem , operator code is the combination of '''mobile country code ( MCC)''' and '''mobile network code ( MNC)''' .
 
For example: Mobile country code = 404
 
                     Mobile network code = 90
 
                     Operator code = 40490

'''Band Configuration''' ensures devices operate on the correct frequency bands for optimal connectivity, supporting technologies like 4G and 5G.
 
'''Operator lock Configuration''' restricts devices to specific carriers, requiring unlock procedures to switch networks.

1. Login to GUI of device

Connect router to Laptop or Desktop using a LAN connection or connect over Wi-Fi.

Make sure the laptop/desktop LAN/Wi-Fi interface is in DHCP mode.


How to make LAN/Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode into Windows Operating system?

To configure a LAN or Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode on a Windows operating system, follow these steps:

Press Windows + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter to open the Network Connections window.

And locate the correct LAN/Wi-Fi interface which need to be configured as DHCP client or go to below path in the system.

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center

In the above image select the interface Ethernet or Wi-Fi and change the IP Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and set in DHCP as shown in below image.

Note: Make sure the router’s DHCP server is not disabled if it is disabled then windows system should be configured with static IP “use the following IP address” option in above image.

Use default IP of router to access GUI.

For LAN it is 192.168.10.1 and for Wi-Fi it is 192.168.100.1 can be used to acces router in using any browser.


Note: For filed routers if the IP address is changed then the new IP belongs to interface

should be used.
