Thank you so much.

I'm on RG502QEAACR13A04M4G_ZYXEL version, what do you suggest?

And so, for the few who did the full downgrade/upgrade dance, did you see any improvement? If you did, in what way and in which region/operator?

Don’t do it!

Thank god I didn't update the firmware until now. The original R13A02 works perfectly. I'm still following this thread and then I'll decide if I'll update, but Zyxel messed something up with it...

Why?

for example, for me, speed decreased from 600Mbps to 50Mbps

Do not use automatic band selection. I have the same problem: my device automatically selects bands with the highest signal strength, but they usually have the lowest speed. Instead, find the fastest bands and select them manually.

I updated to the latest version. The speed improved by about 20-30%, so far I'm satisfied. After the update, I installed fw 0, then updated to fw10 and hard restarted, updated without interfering with the device or cheating with the SIM card slot. I simply restarted it when the card was not active, I performed the entire procedure, waited 15 minutes and refreshed it to check if the update was successful. then I did a restart

aha, from what I see what you write that it is not possible to block the 5g band, I don't agree with that. I have had this router for 5 months and there are 2 5g bands in my area. I can block on any band I want. just go to nr5gsa, enter the data of the 5g mast you want to use, then switch to auto or nsa, the modem will only select the band you have set

So if you check your bandlock @ 5G now it is unchecked?

It is possible to do as you describe but when you change to NSA it will go back to unchecked 5G bandlock!

It will only work in SA-mode.......
