Tags: #Highlighted Thread #Official #Band Selection

If you have experienced an issue of disconnecting or slowness on the 4G Wi-Fi router’s network due to the auto band selection, Please download and install the following beta firmware on the router to manually fix the band.

Please be sure you have read The Beta Test Agreement before proceeding!

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:

TP-Link support team is the worth and slowest team I have seen, released a beta version one year ago and yet they couldn't fix it to a stable version, just Huawei is the best, it's framware is perfect and all options we need, Huawei team response fast.

@ThirumalaiK

I don't want to seem dumb, but what does "unpin the thread" mean?

Does it mean this product is a dead-end and TP Link has given up on it and they will not continue developing firmware?

I purchased mine only 2.5 months ago -- I will not purchase from TP Link again.

I know that @TP-Link @Kevin_Z are surely just regular people doing their job,

but the way TP Link is acting here is really LOW.

I can wait a couple of weeks more and then I will start openly complaining on FB, Twitter etc.

@Durkster

Hi, “Unpin” means we don’t manually put it on the top.

Currently, the focus on the thread has already been changed and more users are focusing on the release date, not beta itself to fix some specific issues, which failed the initial purpose of “pin” the beta firmware.

We do not give up this model and there will be new firmware but it is just unclear when the firmware would be released.

Thank you very much.

It is not enough to release a stable version of this Beta version for mr6400 after one year,??? how you are working too slow. Or you are not working or not supporting old users.

Guys,

I just changed PDP Type from "IPv4 & IPv6" to "IPv4" via custom created profile.

After that, everythings works fine with Auto Band and Network Mode 4G only or 4G Prefer...

I have MR6400 v5.2 and works like a charm on the Telenor network.

I hope it helped to somebody...

Cheers,

Gyula

@Kevin_Z

sorry same problem for me: it's one month that my mr200 V2.1 keeps disconnecting from Vodafone Italy carrier. I have to remotelly manage heat and surveillance in my countryhouse. I have no one that can reboot the router. This is a great problem. Please update firmware urgently or send me a new router.
