I've been trying to help a friend with a Nokia Fastmile 5G Gateway (5G-04W-A) router released in 2019, that won't connect to 5G, it's being used with MTN.
They got it secondhand and didn't realise that it has probably only been connecting to 4G the whole time.
The phones get strong 5G signal in the location of the router and the sim card being used with it is definitely 5G enabled because it will pick up 5G if it's put in a phone.
There's not much info on the internet about these devices but apparently they are beast mode routers with Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 modem that supports a huge range of bands and they have 4GB of ram.
Any ideas what could be the issue?
Can the 5G modem die independently of the 4G modem?
