How to disable 4G+ in favour of 4G - Three mobile broadband

My Three mobile broadband connection has been temperamental recently.  I've been through support, and they found some issue with the signal in my area.  However, I noticed at the time that my router was displaying 4G+, and when they 'fixed' the issue, it then displayed 4G.

Today it's problematic again, and once again the router is displaying 4G+, not 4G.

Does anyone have any idea how to disable 4G+ on a Hauwei B535-232 router?  (AKA Huawei 4G Router 3 Pro).  I'm confident that if I can disable 4G+ in favour of 4G, my connection will be much more reliable.

    Nope. Can only pick 3G or 4G.
    I had an annoying issue where when mine was locked to a specific antenna all worked fine and speeds were great. Unfortunately a restart prompted it back to another cell site that wasn't as great. No way to manually pick cell towers.

    I had problems with 4G slow response and slow download (5Mbps) speed due to heavy load on the 4G mast. When I switched to 3G only the response was much quicker and so was the download speed (10-20Mbps).
