Figure 34 - Band Settings
Band selection
The band selection drop down list provides the ability to select either the A side or B side of the cellular band on which your router is
operating. In most cases, the Auto setting is sufficient as it automatically selects the best side of the band in your area. You should
not change this setting from the default Auto setting unless you are instructed to by your carrier.
Mode preference
The Mode Preference drop down list allows you to select the radio transmission technology used for network access. This affects
the quality and speed of network access. The default setting of Hybrid is appropriate for most users as it automatically selects the
fastest network. If you need to restrict the router to a particular mode, select either 1x Only or HDR Only as per your requirements.
OPTION
DESCRIPTION
1x Only
This is also known as “1xRTT” or 1 times Radio Transmission Technology. It is the version of CDMA2000 radio technology
that operates in a pair (transmit and receive) of 1.25 MHz radio channels. It is sometimes referred to as 2.5G
HDR Only
Refers to “1xEVDO” which is also known as Evolution Data Only. This is the third-generation broadband wireless packet data
technology optimized for high-speed mobile data.
Hybrid
Automatically selects the best mode for your router based on the signal being received, with preference given to 1xEVDO over
1xRTT. When 1xEVDO is unavailable, the router falls back to 1xRTT mode.
