Question

Is the RUT950 EU version (FW: RUT9XX_R_00.06.06.1) compatible with Lebara (Vodafone network) in rural areas in Spain? We experience a very very bad connection on GSM900 (900 MHz) with 14DBi external antenna on 6 meter hight. We get -93 dB signal only. Altough we get WAN IP there is absolutely no bandwith. Are there additional network or device software restrictions that prevent a RUT950 EU from connecting on a certain frequency? Any suggestions?

Hello, 

Based https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/vodafone-spain the frequency bands that is used by RUT950 U****** and RUT950 H****** is supported. Now for the band selection for what frequency you are going to select you can do it manually on the Web UI > Network > Mobile Tab
check this link for more information: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT950_Mobile#Network_frequency_bands. Lastly for the mobile signal strength you can get more information on this link: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/Mobile_Signal_Strength_Recommendations

Mainly what is causing this issue of yours it's either that area has no signal coverage or it is very far from a cell tower. 

Hope it helps
