Hi, may I have a screenshot of the Advanced > Network > Internet page as well? Please ensure the PDP Type is XLAT for 5G Jio SIM card.
Share with us a log file as well.
In addition, based on your status page, there is already Internet IPv4 address but there is a red x in the Internet part, please click IPv6 to see if there is IPv6 address as well.

@Sunshine a BIG thanks to you! After changing PDP type ->> XLAT , i can get the internet back online. However, earlier i have created profile for Pv4 only and IPv6 only, after using this i cannot get the IPv6 go away (i am using PiHole to remove ads, so need IPv4 only.
If i am not wrong, changing PDP type CLAT is a 4 to 6 conversion. that is why the WAN IPv4 IP is now 192.0.0.1 and the route is at 192.168.1.0/24 pointing out towards 192.0.0.1.
Can you guys please fine tune on this part please? also, TP-Link DDNS not wrking for IPv6 as well. it's only updating IPv4 IP.

@Sunshine Hey @Sunshine, After updating my TP-Link MR600V2 to the beta version, I noticed the router is not showing 4G+ however, the internet works fine. Does the carrier aggregation work with the beta firmware? I'm pretty sure it's the same Band40 I used to get 4G+ nothing has changed other than firmware.

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.
I am afraid IPv6 cannot be removed for Jio 5G SIM, based on previous analysis, Jio uses the 464XLAT, that is why the internet stops working on our devices with Jio 5G SIM, the beta firmware added XLAT option to solve the internet compatibility issue.
In addition, regarding the DDNS function, it is true that only IPv4 is supported for now, we will record your suggestion and report to the development team for evaluation.
