I've got a Sierra Wireless Airprime MC7354 module, supplying a cellular communication to my x86.
By default, on module boot, it searches for an LTE network connection, and if fails - it falls back to 3G.
Though I'm supplied with several Sim cards, from different providers, all are LTE compatible (works great on my phone) - I can only get a 3G network (no LTE).
Ideas anyone?

Turns out the MC7354 supports only specified LTE bands in specific regions and is marketed for Americas region with LTE bands: B2, B4, B5, B13, B17, B25.
My provider was not supplying LTE connection in one of the above bands. I had to switch to another model that works on an LTE band that my provider provides.

This isn't really an answer... You are just stating the capabilities of the hotspot, not how this "answer" applies to this situation. I am assuming you are not in North America, but you should give a more complete answer. – acejavelin – 2017-04-13T13:35:26.360

1What does your provider have to say? – Ramhound – 2017-03-01T13:01:25.043
2Are you within LTE coverage? – None – 2017-03-01T13:01:40.060
You need LTE coverage/signal there. It will not work otherwise even if you have full signal with 3G or 2G. – Overmind – 2017-03-01T13:11:05.407
