switch between 4G bands on Archer MR200
Hi, I want to know is it possible switch between 4G FDD bands ( Archer MR200) . Is there a program or any method?
My ISP have active bands B20 and B3 on LTE.
B20 (800) is very slow and when the router is on this I have 1 Mbit / s downloads. In B3 it reaches 70 Mbit / s, often I have to restart it in order to hook B3 (1800+)

I decided today to give a shot to the beta firmware as I was very annoyed how my v4 router was selecting its band. I did the installation using a laptop and a network cable. I backed up my settings, flashed the new firmware, restored my personal settings (they worked, so they are compatible between the stable and beta firmare).
The router is very stable as I set it to use the band with the best signal.
I am very satisfied now, thank you TP-Link!!!
For those who are sceptical, give it a shot! It's been several months since this firmware was released and I see no reports about serios issues with it.

that's good.
i can confirm the nice experience with my MR200 v4 router, the ability to choose and "fix in place" a given band is somewhat a lifesaver and something one can never do without hence.
Unfortunately, it's a bit disappointing that we have to deal with rather old "firmware builds" in order to being able to use such feature: i cannot understand why TP-LINK does not publish their latest builds integrating those with the band selection feature... Should not be anything "invasive", nor disruptive in doing so.
Why am i forced to forfeit a - say - cool MESH wifi implementation in order to being able to choose a network band to connect to?
C'mon, TP LINK - go the extra mile
