Hi
I have B818 modem which is 5G ready also I have 5g tower ~300meters away from my house.

    It has 5GHz WiFi, maybe that's where you're getting confused?
    It's a 4G modem only.
    
    Sell the B818 and upgrade to 5G if you want to get on the Unlimited plan.

The latest B818 firmware has options for 5G bands if you use LTE-H Moniotor…. BUT it will not be able to use these bands as the hardware does not support 5G.

I think it is only a LTE Cat19 modem. You need a 5G modem to connect to the 5G network.
