ZTE MC801a - Three B15 firmware update

My router updated last night to B15. Now showing 4G Connected Band as 10.0MHz@2100(B1) + 15.0MHz@1800(B3)

Not seen that before.
 
I'm now seeing CA Active on my stats and speeds seem better. Maybe a coincidence, although I'd never seen CA Active before.

Bridge mode has failed twice for me since B15, my attached router just stops working. A reboot does fix it but I hope this does not carry on
 
Has anyone got any issues with external antennas after the update ?

Debug doesn't work either.

Are you sure this is bridge mode failing and not the known issue with the router dropping the cellular connection randomly (e.g. if you log into the UI you will see it is connected but no data is being transferred)?

It doesn't need a full reboot to fix it, one can apply a change to 5G bands to resolve it right away (I use my Python library to do it automatically for me).

Bridge mode is failing on mine now, and it is bridge mode as opposed to something else.

Very frustrating.
 
How do you know it is bridge mode specifically? Is it more than "just" a drop in connectivity?
In router mode it works flawlessly, no issues at all.

In bridge mode the trouble starts.

Signal stats in both are roughly the same.
 
I've got this router on B15 too, has anyone had any luck moving the WIFI bands?

If I move my 5Ghz to CH 48 in the UI, in wifi analyser it stays on CH44(42) which is very crowded in my area so would love to move it, this router has a real lack of bands on the 5Ghz range :o/
