Can I do the band lock and what is band lock?

Yes, all our models allow for band locking. Think of 4G/LTE/5G bands like roads leading to the cell phone tower. Some bands are wide, multi-lane highways, while others are narrow, single-lane county roads. However, if everyone is using the highway, it can become congested, and sometimes the smaller roads might offer faster speeds.

There isn’t a single “fastest” band; if there were, all routers would be set to that band. Speed depends on factors such as your distance from the tower, the number of users connected, and the power and speed provided by the network.

The best approach is to scan and test the speeds of the available bands from your provider. You can then lock the router to one or more of the fastest bands while excluding the slower ones. Our models feature a band lock and speed test function under the Mofi Internal Modem settings. This tool scans all available bands and automatically locks onto the fastest one, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
