I agree with the rest. This feature is extremely critical. I can't see why people will still buy your product if it is not available. Please let your R&D team fix it ASAP!

@hmit agree too. I have just bought mr600, not opened yet think I will send it back and get the Huawei router instead if I can't change the band. I have the mr200 and it frustrates me it picks band 3 I get slow speed but band 7 gets me a great speed. Should be able to choose. 

@Potshot2k4  which Huawei router you planning to buy ?

@imtootall Appreciate any kind of status/info on this issue. Some indicationof when it could be solved. Or even  a decision not proceed, so I can thrash the MR 600 and buy another router. For now i’m using highly directional dual tube antennas optimized for capacityband frequencies and diy antenna BP filters to cut out lower bands. Even then I cant tune antennas directly towards strongest base station. Also the filters reduce performance in the passband. Instable and ridiculus solution

@StefanM 

I gave up and bought a huawei b818 and its absolutely fantastic!

@imtootall it’s never to late to give up :-). Used to work at Huawei... but curious to try something new... stupid me

@imtootall 

Which model did you buy for B818 ?

@imtootall 

Hey everyone! Check this post for a solution https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/193174?page=3#23

@imtootall 

This tp link MR600 failed can't select the bands 

I will go with Huawei   b818

@imtootall 

I Also bought a MR600 router, and have the same problem. Sometimes I have big drops of transfer speeds, when I've look the problem, is because the router change the LTE bands. I Want to force for specific combination of bands, for instance (20,3) or (20,1), for gathering better results, and the router doesn't´t choose the better bands for my case.

Sometimes yes, Sometimes Not. Of course, i double check with my smartphone, and is not a network problem. I think each location has particular characteristics and is a MUST that should be released a new firmware, to be able to select the bands manually to achieve the better results. Other similar routers from another brands, has this function, I don't see why this one shouldn't´t.
