Kind of, it’s in router mode, but when the device gets turned on at home, it see’s my home wifi and repeats that to use less mobile data.
A theory, I can take some time this evening to confirm, is that when I turn the device off after its been connected to my home wifi repeating that (still in router mode), then turn it back on, away from that wifi and it uses the 4g, that is when it clears out the channel?
Still not sure why it would change the channel, I could see if it was in pure repeater mode, as it would match the channel of the other network, but I can test that theory.
