What is your connection if you lock it to 1800Mhz
1800Mhz got better signal penetration compared to 2600Mhz.
Anyway your connection did stabilize after flashing to OpenWRT because from what I know MR3040 stock firmware is very buggy?
lol, MR3040 stock firmware can't even connect. I keep seeing modem status as "Identifying..." -> "Identified" then when i click connect, it shows "Unplugged"

then after 30 seconds or so it repeats itself again... maybe I'm doing something wrong there, but I'm just not sure
1800Mhz is better, I'm getting -69 or so with that frequency, problem is the speed, I recall getting ~5-6Mbps and some rare 15Mbps speed on average, compared to 2600Mhz which has higher speed in average. I recall the page loading issue is present on 1800Mhz as well, but this 2 days was out till late so I didnt get much chance to test it, but lemme confirm this, 1800mhz has higher penetration but lower speed, while 2600 has lower penetration but higher speed?
