Do you have internet when you lock to 4G?
From the Cells Info, it is 4G, not 3G. In 3G mode it will be CDMA etc.
But signal is not good.
Band 5 and band 12, are low frequency band according to LTE frequency bands - Wikipedia
So speed will not be good.
You can also use AT command to lock the Band to 12 and try.
I have already tried locking it to band 12.
It never fully locks into 4G. It just gives the generic “SIM card is not registered” error which seems to be a default error message. The UI does not display 3G/4G or show signal bars.
I’m starting to think AT&T has just banned your devices from their data plans at 4G speeds.
This means it has a cell signal but is not registered on the network, state should be NOCONN when registered and idle.
mcc 311 mnc 480 - Would indicate a Verizon cell which is probably why you aren’t registered to it if you are using an AT&T sim
I tried locking it to band 12 and got similar results, including “state LIMSRV”.
Now here is something weird. I tried putting my cell phone sim card into the x750 and it made a 4G connection. So this is definitely a compatiblity issue between AT&T and the x750.
I wouldn’t band lock until you find what band(s) your local AT&T tower uses, does the phone tell you? According to the AT&T site they use these bands for LTE
Or if the phone is on a different network you are out of LTE coverage area on AT&T
My phone is an unlocked at&t phone whch connects on band 12. My current cell phone plan is an AT&T MVNO but my previous plan was with AT&T directly. I’m fairly certain I am not out of AT&T’s LTE coverage area.
Had many report. Maybe your data plan has problems to work on X750.
Carrier’s system is very complicated and their data plans has different system to manage.
That’s it? That is the only response you have???
So to summarize, you know of this problem and are unwilling or unable to fix it. But you still advertize this router as “AT&T certified” which is now a completely meaningless and borderline fraudlent claim.
Thank you for wasting my money and time. I don’t know why I expected anything different these days.
For anyone finding this via google, The plan I am trying to use is AT&T’s 100GB/$55usd prepaid data plan bought directly from AT&T. A fully legitimate plan meant for devices like the x750. And this is not some obscure plan; it is one of the primary plans offered for AT&T prepaid service.
I can also confirm that I am experiencing the same problem with my X750 on Cricket, which uses the AT&T network. I have 5 lines on a family plan with one of the SIM’s being in this router. All phones in the house connect to LTE just fine, but the router never does (only 3G/4G, which limits speed to 3MB/s). When taking the SIM card out of the router and putting it in a phone, it connects to LTE with no issues. There appears to be some compatibility issues with the X750 and the ATT network currently.
For those coming here from a google search: I’ve done some more research and found this:
The x750 may be caught up in AT&T’s phase out of all 3G service. If so, than this situation is permanent. The x750 will no longer be able to connec to ATT at 4G, and in Feb 2022 it won’t be able to make any connection at all.
We already have fix. We will release the firmware so that users can upgrade by the end of this year.

I am having the same problem with my AT&T sim. It show as a 3g connection. When I put the sim in my iPad it is a 4g connection.
I have tried the AT command to set to 4g and have downloaded the above beta software and rebooted the router and it is still on 3g.
Any thoughts on how to get 4g?
Pls try to force LTE using the following AT command.
AT+QCFG="nwscanmode",3,1
Didn’t work. Got this error:
SIM card cannot be registered. Please check: 1. You are using the compatible modem for your carrier; 2. Whether a specific APN or data plan is required.
Pls send me the screenshot of the modem page (where it shows SIM card cannot be registerred.)
I did the AT command again and it changed from 3g to 4g for a few seconds then gave that error again.
See images below.
I should also add that I have to reset the modem after this because it will not reconnect to AT&T.
For a few seconds it would connect as shown here but then 3g/4g symbol is gone and it gives the above error message. I then have to reset the modem because I cannot connect to the internet.
Pls post the Cells info to see if signal is too week.
Pls try to enable IPv6 to see if this matters.
