Smarty/Three 4G

The "documentation" that came with my MF286D states that B32 is supported.
The documentation that came with my B535-333 said that it supported B32. What it didn't say is that it didn't support B3+B32 and ended up being a massive waste of time and effort.

My point being, the details matter when trying to make informed buyer decisions.

Well, better a router that supports B32 than one that does not (at least for Three). But you are right, not knowing which band combinations work, does not help much.

I did see my MF286D occasionally reporting

Code:
+ZCAINFO: 117, 1, 1202, 99, 10.0;          154, 1, 32, 10220, 20.0;

+ZCAINFO: 376, 3, 1202, 1392, 15.0;          154, 1, 32, 10220, 20.0;

which suggests that both B3+B32 as well as B1+B32 are supported.

It would be pretty silly if Three were providing a CA capable router that could not even aggregate B3+B32, given that B3 seems to be their base layer.
 
Oh so with smarty u struck with CGNAT :(
Yes, as far as I know three is the only network you can escape CGNAT problems iceburnmarko, by using its 3internet APN.
 
Well I received the MF286D today and set up fine.

Speeds didn’t improve at all and uploads dropped. Ran speed tests during the day and on average worse off for some reason so that will be going back to Amazon. Signal strength was worse than the B535

Three today has been pretty bad on occasion almost at a standstill. I’ll have to beg Sky for a reduction or look elsewhere after the April increases.

Anyway thank you all for help and advice.
