Note: For MR600 v1/v2, Please note that not all combinations of the 4G bands are supported in 4G+ mode. Only when the router and the SIM card support the same combinations of 4G band in 4G+ mode, the bands might be aggregated successfully.
Besides the beta firmware, it is also planned to release the official firmware for Band selection. Keep an eye on the official website or router web GUI for the new updates.
If you are not sure about how to select the band manually on the router web interface, check the instructions below:

No, you cannot install the beta firmware for the MR400 v4 on your MR200, we will check this with the developer again if we could provide a new beta firmware.
BTW, what if you try to manually select the band on the beta version, then update to the latest official version on the MR200, will you still use the selected band and use Onemesh?

My ISP offers 3 bands
4G: Bands 3 and 20
3G: Band 8
How can I select to only use band 3 for 4G (Band 20 is slow)?
If I select 3+NONE, it is using 3,20
If I select 3+3, it is using 3,20
If I select 3+8, it is using 3,20
So, it is always using 3,20 regardless of the band setting.

After you choose band 3, please check and ensure you have saved the settings, then reboot the router. Login to the web GUI again to check and ensure it is also chosen the signal band 3, and then show us the status page, where display a band 3, 20.
Just to confirm, who is the SIM card carrier? Is it possible to test this with another SIM card?

OK i need to reboot the router for every band change?
Can't do that at the moment.
Edit: I was able to trigger the band change by selecting "3G only" and then "4G only" afterwards. Now it is correct, band 3 only.
Edit2: But some weird things happening.
If I select to use Band 3,NONE -> Band 3 is used
If I select to use Band 3,20 -> Band 20 is used (no band 3)
Combination of Band 3 and 20 is not possible anymore. Only single band 3 or band 20.
