The firmware does a good job of managing Wi-Fi 6 radio bands for speed and efficiency, though users wanting granular control over band steering might find it limited. Commonly Observed Issues & Fixes
The firmware contains references to LCOS (a Linux-based Sagemcom OS) and a hidden fw_update partition that checks for downgrade attempts. Why block downgrades unless newer versions fix something critical they don’t want to admit?
The standard firmware does not allow manual cell or band locking. To resolve this, physically rotate the modem 45 degrees at a time near a window to force the firmware's internal signal-to-noise ratio (SINR) calculator to re-evaluate and lock onto the optimal tower cell.
