I needed a way to receive SMS for 2FA as there are NO MOBILE BARS at this desk. 

( Yahoo, PayPal and my purblind XXXX bank refuse to support USB keys...)

A tame 3/4 G router looked like the solution. Turn off its DHCP etc, change IP to eg ...0.120 to play nice with my network's cable-broadband modem/router, hang in nearest window that got bars, tether via lonnnng Cat-5...

The MR6400 looked ideal. I even down-loaded and studied the 100++pp PDF manual before purchase.

What could go wrong ??

Okay, to get to the undocumented 'tethered' configuration I wanted, I had to change some of the more arcane menus in a different order from what seemed logical.

But, could I get SMS ? No.

I've been sent several plain-text test messages from 'friends & family', the status counter keeps incrementing, but I cannot access them.

Then I find this thread.

A year to fix my exact problem, still unresolved ?? 

I can't seem to access the wonky page via Chrome console, and I should not be trying.

I'm not allowed to use beta-release drivers for  2FA stuff, especially given the lingering issues.

I've about a week's margin before this unit goes back to Amazon 'With Exteme Prejudice'...

Given 2FA codes are time-limited, I cannot pop the SIM from remote-hung router into a bars-less phone at desk...

Weep...

Come on, TP, could do better !!

( FWIW, I had a bunch of plug-in TP WiFi range extenders, soon replaced by hard-wiring. Because it was easier to 'herd cats'... )

I bought one of the best modems on the market ( MR200 v4 ), but i cant recive sms.

I'm really upset about buying this modem and angry about this serious problem.

I did not expect this serious problem from TP-Link products at all.

I used the firmware version 2019-03-22 and 2020-06-28, there is a problem in both cases.

Please solve this problem, I really need the ability to receive SMS from this modem, my job is lame now.

i from iran and i use irancell sim-card.

Same problem here

Firmware 1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 200511 Rel.44954n

Got 4 messages inbound yet can't see any of them, blank window

It seems the problem hasn't been solved so far

@Sunshine 

The problem with the Beta for the MR600 is it doesn't have the latest fixes, as it's behind the release firmware.

Also it has the Beta banner so you can't read the screens you actually want to use, so it's definitely not an acceptable solution!

@Sunshine 

i have this problem

Most of the time I have this problem of not receiving (maybe not showing) the SMS

But after deleting [System-Log], the problem is temporarily solved, I think

but again this problem will create

I used both versions of the operating system 2019-03-22 and 2020-06-28 and there was this problem

Sometimes it works right and sometimes it doesn't.

I had this problem many times ( I took this photo from the first post ) :

@Sunshine would you kindly send the beta firmware to my email address besi.cristiano@gmail.com?

Thanks in advance

@Sunshine  SUCCESS TQ but when this firmware gonna be official ? 

I just wanted to say I also had the SMS issue, I bought my router about 6 weeks ago and was working fine for the first 4 weeks, then encoutered the SMS issue. I upgraded to the beta software and that has fixed the issue.

When will there be an official release?

@Sunshine Or anyone else, could I get a copy of that firmware please.

Desperate to access some important messages.

Thanks in advance.
