Force Electron to 2G mode

[wesner0019]

Is there a way to force the U260 to only use 2G?

I want to perform some battery testing and 2G is more critical than the defualt 3G mode.

3G Electron on 2G Networks

@rickkas7 I’m using your CellularHelper repo as a jumping off point for testing cellular connectivity however the part where I read what type of network I’ve connected to with CellularHelperEnvironmentCellData::postProcess() is confusing me. The band that this function is parsing is coming out as either DCS 1800 or GSM 900 , even though I am testing on a U-260 Electron. Note that I am using AT+UBANDSEL to successfully select the 850 and 1900 MHz bands as per: [ Modem::getBandAvailable ] = …

If this doesn't provide enough clues, you may want to look at the AT commands for the ublox module

Thanks but just selecting the band doesn’t control which service it uses. Does anyone know of an AT command that can do this?
