You could insert the Jio 5G SIM card into your smartphone, then check the APN profile settings on the phone to find the MCC and MNC, please share with us the screenshot, thanks a lot!
2) The beta firmware is for Jio 5G SIM card only, please don't update it if you would like to use a different SIM card.

I am sharing the details for MR600 V2.
Firmware Version:1.7.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 220826 Rel.58057n
Hardware Version:Archer MR600 v2 00000001 IMEI:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Logs and screenshot attached
There is a issue with MR600 router where my Jio sim is not able to connect to internet on this router only.
My findings:- Jio sim recently upgraded to 5G network, but the same sim is working in other non jio router like usb dongle.
It seems like problem is only with MR600.
What causing:- when Jio sim inserted ipv4 showing blank and only ipv6 working but can't provide internet.
Troubleshooting Done so far:- multiple router restart, reset router, upgraded to latest firmware.
Also please note this issue was happening before as well before 5G network launched like in 2020-2021-2022 but somehow it was resolved automatically but this time its not getting resolved.
This is serious issue and has to be resolved on priority.
