WAN configuration for Archer MR600
Hi all,
I've got an Archer MR600, working fine using the SIM for internet.
I've got another router in the house that gets fiber internet. If I plug my computer directly into that router, I get an IP (192.168.1.X), internet works just fine.
I want the Archer to use that router as it's primary WAN, 3G to be the backup.
I've put it into wireless router mode, changed its LAN IP to 192.168.2.1.
When I try a new WAN interface on the "Network -> Internet" page, I put connection type as Dynamic IP. When I save, I get:
Error code: 5657
WAN or IPTV connection without vlan ID already exists
IPTV is disabled, there are no other WAN interfaces on the list.
If I set VLAN ID to 1, on Dynamic IP it doesn't get an IP address from the router, on Static it connects but has no internet access.
How do I add a WAN interface without a VLAN ID?!
Any advice on what to try next is much appreciated!

Hello, below is the instruction to setup 3/4G backup on the MR600. You need connect the fiber router to the LAN4/WAN port of Archer MR600 by wired cable and log into the web UI to change the operation mode to wireless router mode first.

Please ensure that the firmware is up to date. And if it is still the same, please show us a screenshot of the error message you saw.
Good day.

Thanks for that, however I have already followed those instructions.
I get the same error everytime that there is already a WAN or IPTV setup without a VLAN ID so it can't make a new one.

I am having the exact same problem with the same error code for my MR400 V2 router. When setting up the WAN connection, it asks for a VLAN id, and whatever I put in it, it says 'WAN connected', but there is still no internet access. The 3G/4G mode works fine.
My LAN IP is 192.168.0.1 and provided WAN IP in 192.168.1.110.
The internet works fine when connected directly to my PC.

Hi,
I had similar problem and resolved it in following way:
In Advanced mode - > Network - Internet :
set Dynamic IP and expand Advanced, then check box with - get IP using DHCP Unicast type.
NOTE: IPTV is disabled and Archer has different LAN then fiber router.
Hope it will help for you too.
cheers,

@WhatToDo I am fighting to get my MR600 to work in Wireless Router Mode too.
I have followed the instructions here:
https://www.tp-link.com/dk/support/faq/2719/
I must be missing something, as I do not get any WAN internet at all.
Nothing shows up under my Internet Connections a part from a 3G/4G connection that is working fine.
Am I missing to tick something off somewhere ?
Must I add a WAN connections to the list manually ?

@peterholm The only thing that worked for me was letting 'Quick Setup' find the WAN connection. I got the impression the error checks on doing it manually must be wrong.

I run into the exact same issue with Archer MR400 in my case NOT letting me create a new WAN interface with VLAN 0.
Apparently, the SIM-based WAN interface which is created by default takes over VLAN with ID 0 and this is not configurable.
In my case the router that I was trying to connect as a backup would also not allow me to configure a different VLAN to the LAN port that I had connected my MR400, which is common.
The ONLY thing that worked was to do a factory reset to MR400, then proceed with adding the Backup WAN interface BEFORE setting up the 3G/4G WAN connection.
Now, in my case, this is acceptable because at the moment I do not use the SIM slot.
However, I am not sure if this will still work after setting up the 3g/4g WAN connection.
Hope this helps. It gave me a BIG headache...
