Model: Archer MR200  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: Latest

Hi TP-link,

Could you please include the band selection option in your firmware which will be really useful to us. It's already a mediatek processor hence band selection must be very much possible to implement. So many are really expecting this feature on their routers. Please help us.

I have MR100 and we get the beta firmware which has the manual band chose. I am so happy now with stable connection. I get 45/45 mbps with band 8 =)

@Kevin_Z @Sunshine 

Update: I can able to set band on Airtel SIM directly. However for Jio SIM if I turned off mobile data and tried searching the manual band, it worked and I can able to see the available bands.

Thank you

Do you mean you need to disable the mobile data on the phone, when you can choose band manually for the Jio SIM? Can you explain this in more detail?

This is because with JIO sim if you are using default profile , you will not be able to select band. For manually selecting band you have to first create a profile manually for JIO sim.
