@Kevin_Z Could you guys allow Carrier Aggregation support on "Vi India" it uses  B1, B3 combination.... 

My mobile device aggregates successfully... But TP Link Archer MR600 doesn't seem to aggregate.... I even tried locking bands on beta firmware too, no improvement... 

 

I kindly request you to allow 1,3 CA at firmware level

Thanks in advance!

Hi, actually selecting the band manually is to inform the 4G base station the band we would like to use, but it is decided by the base station whether and how the bands will be aggregated. We are unable to force them to work on specific band combinations.


It is recommended to choose the band combinations with better speed and stable connection, if the signal is not very stable, you could also leave it on Auto so that it will change to other band automatically when specific band has weak or no signal.

I was told that CA 1+3 is a hardware limitation of MR600 (V1). It should be supported on V2

I have bought router MR600 only for the Carrier Aggregation feature.I am facing same issue. I have checked with airtel and Jio.It is router problem. In router, manual network band selection is not working. But auto band selection is working ..it depends on ISP provider criteria. Airtel CAT band-3,40 . Dear TP link, Please update once fix available for manual network band selection in 4G+ Cat6 AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Archer MR600(Version 2) Issue firmware: Archer_MR600v2_1.3.0_0.9.1_[210208-rel61056]_up_boot_Release_2021-02-08_17.06.35.bin

Hi, MR600 v2 has already supported the band selection feature, you can find it on the web GUI Advanced >Network >Internet page, when you choose the band, it will search for the available bands, choose one that is labeled with your ISP.

 

If you still cannot find the option to choose the band manually, please show us the screenshot on the Network page, we can confirm.
