switch between 4G bands on Archer MR200
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi, I want to know is it possible switch between 4G FDD bands ( Archer MR200) . Is there a program or any method?
My ISP have active bands B20 and B3 on LTE.
B20 (800) is very slow and when the router is on this I have 1 Mbit / s downloads. In B3 it reaches 70 Mbit / s, often I have to restart it in order to hook B3 (1800+)

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback.
The official firmware of V4 and V5 has not added the manual-band selection feature yet.
If you need the manual band selection, please refer to the following beta firmware:
MR200(EU) V5:
MR200 EU V3/V4
Add LTE Band Select on Basic->Internet page or Advanced->Network->Internet page
Thanks a lot and wait for your reply.

@TP-Link There is a new update for mr200 v4 today, still does not incorporate the option to choose the band?
Edit: I confirm that there is no option to change the band. Unfortunately tp link does not listen to its users. I'm going to huawei.

That's unfortunate, but at least this leaves some room for anticipation and hope :)
The fact is: why not? I am now almost sure it's a commercial, deliberate decision to not allow manual band selection considering it's available and working since long (in a beta).
It's really a pity to have such a prolonged firmware "support" and still being somewhat forced to keep back for an option that's vital to a lot of users.
For the same reason I myself am not upgrading: i strongly encourage TP LINK to finally include manual band selection in it's official firmware ASAP
