Here comes an error:
Error parsing connect string: "Invalid properties string, unexpected key 
"allowed-mode"

This does almost work, but only with one value.

The switch between 2G and 4G works, but only at the second try.

The first try switches to the wanted mode.
The second try makes the connection.




(3G has bad diagnostics, because of the same LED color, and nearly equal 
performance )

You are doing the things I can test. Thank you!
