Archer MR200: no 3G/4G connection (roaming)
Model : Archer MR200
Hardware Version : Archer MR200 v1 00000001
Firmware Version : 0.9.1 1.1 v004a.0 Build 160905 Rel.60037n
ISP : Orange (France)
Hi all,
I have a new Archer MR200 to replace my D-Link 3G/4G router (DWR-921).
I have a french "Orange" 4G SIM card (additional SIM card, data only) and I am currently in Spain.
When I use the MR200 (with both data and roaming activated), it fails to connect to the 3G/4G network (it says "unknown failure reason").
On the box, I see the 4 signal bars lighted, and in the interface I can see that it got 2 profiles (APN, etc) updated from Orange (Spain)... but still, it fails to connect.
Going back to the D-Link modem/router, everything works.
On the MR200, firmware is up to date. MR200 is in the EU version (V1).
My questions are:
- how can I get more info on what is going on? System log stays empty, not really helpful.
- Does the router need to be connected without roaming first?
- Why doesn't the router see other networks around ? It only shows "Orange" but there are at least 4 other operators around here (with strong signal) I can connect to.
Also, I tried to check the 3G/4G compatibility list, but the MR200 does not show up in the list.
Thanks for your help!
