Archer MR600 Problems, mistake and solution...
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
i have had from too many years the Archer Mr400 version firmware v.1 (1350) and i can say that it was very good 4G network and dual band wifi good.....
unfortunately what I'm going to do ? i will buy new Archer Mr600 in 21/05/2020....... immediatly I found too many problems!!!!
Disconnection from the internet connection.....wifi that grow up and down! exspecially the 2,5 GHZ...TERRIBLE!
I have found this forum surfing internet to understand which problems have this modem!!!
So After too many days to undestand i have arrived to these considerations:
This modem is terrible and according me is not possible to put in the market one modem that not run correctly!!
1) The 4G+ make problems with the mobile connection and must be lock in only 4G mode.
2) The 2,5Ghz network is growing up and down and are instable if you have a extender this will be crazy because the power of the network growing up and down make unstable the extender and it will be crazy.
3) I have discovered also a strange ghost network that is not possible to delete and is connected to the 2,4Ghz network...
...after too many days to study this modem i think this ghost network... is a new function that have these new modems from tp-link and it is connected to "Mesh" Devices and probaly follow the 2,4 ghz network to connect the others Mesh devices.....
But this ghost network is not possible to delete or to disable with some flag in the modem's settings .

So actually there isn't new firmware that make stable this modem?
Why?
Actually, according me, this modem is unusable correctly!
Tp-Link where are you?
Where are you doing for this modem?
Please Make in settings details one flag to disable the ghost network if someone not want to use the Mash function, probaly the 2,4Ghz will be more usable than before.
Actually for trying to use the modem i have disabled the 4G+ network ....but i have bought this modem ONLY for this 4G+ version...to use the power of these new mobile networks.
Actually i have disabled the 2,4Ghz network and leave the 5Ghz network only....now my netgear extender ex6200 is more stable than before and i can use the extender 2,4 Ghz and double 5Ghz networks one from the router one from the extender.....
@ technical from Tp-Link is possible to receive one answer to these questions and to receive how is possible to make usable this modem?
thanks
This is a sheet of network details:
This sheet of network's table probably not run in Italy, in Italy there are others bands.
This bands probably run only in UK !
These the principal networks with mhz:
| EE Coverage Type | Supported Bands & Frequencies |
|---|---|
| 5G Coverage |
|
| 4G Coverage |
|
| 3G Coverage |

| 2G Coverage |

@Robynbra parliamo italiano così è tutto più chiaro. Nella mia zona la banda 20 non c'è.
Attualmente sono domiciliato dai miei suoceri dato che posso lavorare in smart working e l'antenna di zona ha soltanto banda 1 e banda 3. Anche per questo ho preso il TP-Link e una SIM dati Vodafone con traffico illiitato.
Questa è l'antenna più vicina a cui si collegano sia il TP-Link sia il mio telefono.
Il mio smartphone (OnePlus 6) riesce a connettersi in 4G+ connettendosi contemporaneamente alle bande 1 e 3. Il modem TP-Link l'associazone tra bande 1 e 3 non la gestisce (non è pervista nella tabella fornita da TP-Link stessa), o si collega soltanto alla 1 o soltanto alla 3.
Se io imposto 20/1 si collega soltanto alla 1 perché la 20 non c'è.
Se imposto 20/3 si collega soltanto alla 3 perché la 20 non c'è.
Se imposto 3/1 o 1/3 si collega a caso o sulla 1 o sulla 3 ma mai su entrambe.
Nella zona dove abito (e dove tornerò tra una settimana, anche se il modem TP-Link resterà temporaneamente qui) l'antenna supporta invece le bande 1 e 20.
Qui sicuramente otterrò una connessione 4G+ anche con il TP-Link dato che, come tu stesso dimostri, usando le bande 20 e 1 funziona.
Il problema è che non funzionano le bande 1 e 3 insieme.

Summary of the text in English: Why the MR600 doesn't support Band 1 and 3 together?
@Robynbra questi sono degli speedtest che avevo fatto dal modem dopo l'installazione del firmware beta.
7/20 o 7/7 non aggancia nulla proprio perché non ci sono. Sono entrambe bande che Vodafone usa.
