hey guys i have a b818-263 tim network firmware (C192 model)
currently i lived in asian country (The Philippines)
but i have a little bit problem with this b818
so now in my country the network band we have here is BAND 1,3,5,28,38,40,41
so the problem is the Band 40 doesn't work, maybe that's because the firmware is not global
so I was wondering if i can change the firmware to global or asian firmware so that the band 40 worked?
Thanks in advance.
B818-263 TIM Network Firmware (QUESTION)
Bliptized English is fine, however you cannot expect an answer in an hour or so, don’t repost again.
Definitely I can tell you tho that in Italy there’s no B40/B41, so perhaps you do need a fw change, not sure.
In this screenshot which bands was it connected to? Also have a look at “miononno hack” for the browser interface, maybe it’s of help to test a cell lock on B40
x_term abou the post, im really sorry about it, i thought that it doesn't post to the public, that's why i have to post again.
anyway i tried to lock band 41 it works, but when i try to band lock 40 it doesn't work and also i confirmed that the cell i connected to has band 40

The first thread of a new user needs manual approval but afterwards it’s public

That’s nice, so it shouldn’t be a fw issue… @stich86 are you aware of any limitations on this modem? Also from PLMN he is using SMART, maybe there’s some policy on bands?
x_term there is no restriction on the bands, you can connect each of the bands you like, i also tried other network provider, band 40 is still not work so maybe the firmware need to be changed
x_term well i tried other router like huawei b535-932 and it connects band 40 no problem, b818 only has the problem and i was wondering if can i change the firmware on it? i tried to contact huawei on italy but they don't really help, i also wanna try to contact TIM NETWORK but i don't can find contact details.
