Actually... forget what I said in my post of yesterday; all of my problems have returned.

I'm giving in with this router and looking for something more reliable.

Good luck everyone!

Yes, the software support is dissapointing.

Firmware bugs that I've reported in January hadn't been fixed in the June firmware update either.

Firmware Version: 1.1.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 200417 Rel.75138n

Hardware Version: Archer MR600 v1 00000001

Region: India

ISP: Airtel

LTE Bands: Band 1, Band 3, Band 8, Band 40

Hello,

I'm using the frst beta firmware to manually enable carrier aggregation on MR600, however I've come across the following issues:

1. Manually selecting Band 3 and Band 40 enables the 4G+ mode, but the bands don't remain aggregated indefinitely. Sometimes it remains aggregated for an hour or more while sometimes it remains aggregated only for a couple of minutes. Once the aggregation is lost, the router switches back to Band 40.

Why is this happening? Is this an issue with the router or with the cellular tower? 

2. My ISP supports intraband aggregation for Band 40, but the MR600, even after manually selecting both bands to Band 40 doesn't aggregate them. The advanced page shows that the router is still using single Band 40. The possible CA combinations on the first page shows that intraband Band 40 aggregation is supported on the MR600. 

Again, is this an issue with the router? My iPhone always aggregates Band 40 which gives me the best speeds, so I'm sure that the tower is capable of allowing intraband Band 40 aggregation. 

I'd really appreciate if someone can help me out here.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for upload this. It work perfectly fine for me, before manage of band selection, I can't get such result. 

I had already using it for few hours and it still intact to the setting. :) Check post #4 on how to make the band selection stick.

Dear All,

I have tested MR600 with BETA Firmware Version:1.1.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 200417 Rel.75138n, It is working great and need the following 40A-40A CA combination

which is currently missing in MR600.

Region: India / Mumbai

ISP: Jio  and Airtel both supports 2CA with 40A-40A CA combination  on 4G band B40 2300 20Mhz+B40 2300 10Mhz

As I have a Samsung J7 Pro mobile phone and an Oneplus 7 Mobile phone, Both the mobile phone is working perfectly with 40A-40A mode with the same SIM card at the same place, same time.

So, it looks something needs to update in the general firmware or in the specific beta firmware to support 40A-40A CA combination.

Also, request to TP-Link support please to look into the 40A-40A CA combination support in the future firmware keeping the band selection feature in the general firmware.

Many Thanks.

Hi Team,

Firstly, thank you for sharing beta software link and your experiences.

I am based out of india and using Airtel. Since I was not getting 4G+ on my MR600, I tried loading BETA on my MR600.

Even after loading beta image & manually selecting Band 3 & 40 (which is available with Airtel), 4G+ is not enabled.

I tried with JIO with Band 4 & 5 and it did work.

Wondering how come it worked for another Airtel users @LTE-A @Rajiv.R . Can you guys post your config screen shots??
