Replaced my almost 3 years old Tenda 4G680 to this 4G09, bought it because it advertised it can receive 4G+ signal and 'double the speed'
Tried using my Digi simcard, almost same speed as 4G680
Also got Unifi bebas simcard, but sadly only band 5 is available in my area
Is it because Digi does not support 4G+ in my area yet?
Can anyone using this router confirm that 4G+ is supported?

4G+ doesn't exactly mean double the speed.

One way to tell if there's 4G+ is to look at Digi coverage map.

If you're close to the edge of 4G+, you router might have a chance of picking it up. I'm living in an area where officially Digi doesn't have 4G+ for indoors but I'm close to the edge of 4G+ and I'm still able to connect to it 4 out of 5 in terms of bars displayed on my phone.

Get a better 4G Cat6 / Cat11 modem from a more reputable brand that support carrier aggregation.

Tenda didn't even mention whether their product can support carrier aggregation. Judging from the price, I think it's unlikely.

DiGi carrier aggregation profile is generally B3+B7.

update: recent speedtest has proven that 4G09 is actually faster than 4G680 (14mbps average with 4G680 vs 33mbps average with 4G09, same location using Digi, tested almost at the same time)
hence i would assume 4G09 is actually 4G+ supported
would be better if the control panel lets the user know that they are connected with 4G+, like TP-Link's MR600.
