Hi, I've currently got the tp link archer mr600 v2 4g router. Since I've had a recent firmware update on the router a few months ago to the latest version above, I've been having certain problems with it, like I noticed after I updated it, the 4G+ symbol on the front of it keeps on flashing now, keeps going off/on every few seconds, why is this. The internet seems to be on fine tho. It never used to do this before I done the firmware update, it used to stay on constantly with no flashing off/on symbol every few seconds. I've tried changing different sockets but it's still the same. Could it be to do with the firmware or a hardware issue. One thing I was going to try was fully reset it or try a a recent firmware before it happend but not tried those yet. Can confirm internet is still working ok from it. I've bought the router around 15 month's ago.
Also I've had something happen about hour ago, all lights on front of router went out, so I turned it off for few minutes, then once booting bk up which usually takes around 45 seconds to 1 minute, all lights come on for 30 seconds then all went off, so thought it could be to do with a firmware or hardware issue. Then after 10 minutes the lights magically reappeared and they been on and stayed on for about an hour now. Cheers

1. I checked the network type and mode, network is on 4G preferrred, and its never been changed if that what you mean. the Band is set to auto and picks up 1 or 2 bands from the nearest 4g masts. when i checked the main page, the bands changes fom 1 or 2, quite regurlaly. it might be to do with the 4g symbol going off and on every 2 seconds since i updated to the latest firmware. the difference is not alot on 4g and 4g+ but i have noticed the speed fluctuating quite a bit now since its constantly changing from 4g and 4g+.
2. Yes i cecked the band is currently set to Auto and it always as. it picks up the same 2 bands. Band 3 & 20.
3. My ISP of the Sim Card inside it is with EE (UK). I'm in the UK. Ive put the same Sim inside my current phone now, its a Huawei P30 Pro 4G, and i get similar speeds, havent noticed much. i done a quick speed test on it earlier and i getting around 100 mbps download, and 35 mbps for upload.
Ive checked the logs and its contantly changing from 4G & 4G+ all time, its got 69 pages of it since today. Check for yourself screenshot below.
I'm having the exact same issue, my 4g+ symbol is constantly going off and on every few seconds after updating the firmware to 1.7 from 1.6 a few month's ago and it's still happening. It's never used to happen before I done the firmware update over the air in the tp link router firmware settings. It's got to be a firmware issue, is tp engineer's looking into this because it's been going on for over 2 month's must be now. I've read back and seems to be happening to alot of people updated to 1.7 firmware. I've checked the router logs, and am right it's showing my signal over router is bouncing from 4g to 4g+ lte back and fore every 2 seconds, in the router logs. Can you tell me how to downgrade the firmware back to 1.6 for now, I've read someone else doing it and it's sorted it bk for them, until tp link sorts this issue out. Thanks Craig
Hi
My Huawei phone, ive never seen the 4g+ symbol through it, but i always get 4G in my home the same location where i test it, and where the 4G router is situated.
Ive checked the band on my Huawei p30 pro phone using that LTE Discovery app, and its showing its connected to band LTE 3 over phone. thats same band its connects on 4g router, but on router its usually picks up 2 bands, band 3 and 20.
yes i've currently got and running windows 11 on my current computer.
Thank you, im going to try downgrading it to 1.6, to see if it stops the flashing and see what the router logs say. do i have to download winrar or winzip to extract the file first before the downgrade which i read with that page thanks. Hope it works for now

***(EDIT)***
I've downgraded back to 1.6 from 1.7 and all went ok, it took roughly 5-10 minutes. looks like its ok on this version, no 4g+ symbol going off/on every few seconds, its staying on on, and it seems much more stable. The router logs look ok to, no changing every few seconds, which i had loads of pages cause of it. looks like im staying on this version for time being until anything changes.
