This change needs to be reverted. Who thought it was a good idea for a cellular based internet modem to not have the ability to know what band you are connected to?
Now the only way to really know is endless speed tests and resetting the modem. Not to mention no ability to know if carrier aggregation is on which is the biggest source of speed and obviously important information.
They basically stripped down the entire Cellular tab on the modem page to useless info on the SIM card and overall data usage. Before it had 5g and 4g band info along with carrier aggregation bands.
Maybe it is still there and hidden but I have clicked everything I can click on and nothing leads me to see the bands I'm on.

Not only that, but they appear to have removed the option to soft reboot the router via the web UI, which is something I needed to do daily to refresh my cellular connection to get any kind of stable connection. This "update" is a definite step backwards in several respects.

That is well hidden. I spent a while checking the menus out and didn't find that! Thanks.

100% irritated.
I would reboot it to refresh the signal.
What have to do now is use my remote smartplug to power off and on

It shows how Rogers engineers dont care about rural customers.
But why would they remove these features anyway, makes no sense.
My router is 100 feet away from the house, mounted up high on the garage wall, so not so easy to get at.
I put a smart plug on the Nokia SLOWMILE router that reboots it at least once a day. It really helps with the issues of cell signal, especially SNR ratio.
I have done this since original install of the service last year, it reboots router early in the a.m.
I put one on the router, one on every mesh network device, one on every Wyze cams. Reboots each device automatically at the time I set. You can also do it manually at any time with the Kasa app, because the WIFI is stable, the connection to the internet is not. (thank Rogers for that)
Close to 3 acers of seamless WIFI coverage, too bad the Rogers service itself isn't so reliable.

Thank you for posting that it is still there.
But why would they make it more difficult to find that option.

You can see what band you're on by going to the following:
http://192.168.1.1/status_get_web_app.cgi
You will be met with some JSON data, promptly search for "band". You can still see what band you're connected to just not via the webgui. 🙂
