V3 firmware revision history / upgrade safety & G4+
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi, I bought one of these routers from Argos a few days ago and it's current isp revision is 22062901, I see the current revision for download is 23021501.
The router is working on the UK EE network on a tower within sight, signal level is 75-100% however carrier aggregation does not work (G4+).
I should add the SIM is penny mobile who do support G4+
I have seen some chatter here suggesting this may be a router firmware (isp) issue, however I am extremely concerned to upgrade for two reasons
1/ There is NO REVISION HISTORY available for these products, that is very bad
2/ The website tells me that is the download proves to be faulty there is no way back to the preceding revision, not helpful either!
Any suggestions as to the best course of action ?
Hi, the ISP file usually updates or adds the default APN profiles for some ISPs, for example, the ISP file 23021501 updated APN profile for CUHK.
Since your ISP is UK EE, there is no need to update the ISP file version, just make sure the firmware version is the latest one.

Hi Sunshine,
To me this is where the whole problem starts, TPlink are using confusing terminology........
When I check your website downloads section the only thing available is an ISP file, I had assumed this must be the firmware, however I see the product itself lists a firmware revision separately to the ISP version!! And it is in fact Firmware Version:1.1.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 220727 Rel.74013n
Are you saying the ISP file includes the firmware ?
If so how do we (the customers) know what the current firmware release should be ?
AND once again, where is the product firmware revision history to be found ??????????
Regards
Hi, MR600 V3 official firmware is still in releasing process, it will be available soon on the website, that is why there is no Firmware tab on the website.
After its firmware is uploaded to the official website, you will see Firmware except for ISP File such as the screenshot below for MR600 V2, and the firmware revision history could also been seen in the release note.
By the way, firmware usually includes ISP file update, to know more about them, please refer to: Go to know ISP Upgrade Function on LTE Gateway Routers and Mobile Wi-Fi Devices
In addition,
@Sunshine Hi Sunshine, thanks for your reply, I had thought the way I understood it was unusual, I am pleased to hear the firmware is fully tested 
I have had a W8960 for years and it performed very well, that's why I chose TPlink LTE router.
So the issue of 4G+ remains but as I have no other equipment to prove it one way or the other and you don't seem to have any relevant outstanding bugs I will have to let it rest till I can prove otherwise!
Otherwise I am very pleased with the LTE router, it's WIFI performance is an uptick on the old W8960 and I am slowly getting my head around the management features. One thing that would be useful would perhaps be a daily usage limit per MAC address or similar, kids for example can eat all the allowance leaving nothing for the adults
