auto failover 4G
Hello,
I want my mr400 automaticly switch in 4G connection when i loose my adsl connection. I choose the wireless router connection and 3G/4G backup but it's not working. When i disconnect my internet box from the line in order to simulate a line problem, i always still have correct connection in the tp-link interface so the backup don't switch. Please i need help what can i do ?

Good day,
Thank you very much for your time and patience.
Have you ever checked using the 3/4g router mode only to make sure the 3/4g connection is fine in case that it failed to use 3/4G backup because the backup connection is not able to provide internet?
Thanks a lot.

Same issue with my brand new MR200, latest firmware.
Firmware: 1.18.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 201127 Rel.59641n
Hardware: Archer MR200 v4 00000001
As with the OP I've established and proven a 4G connection with SIM, from a factory reset state. Per the instructions, connect ethernet to LAN4/WAN port, change mode to "wireless router" and engage "3G/4G backup".
DSL router (Sky) will be the main connection with MR200 as 4G backup.
With MR200 wired/configured as above it disappears from the ethernet network. I can only connect to it by reconfiguring the computer to connect to it via WiFi, which is useless as I want the MR200 to provide 4G-based internet to the whole of my home network if the DSL goes down.
As per the OP, causing a DSL line fail on the DSL modem achieves nothing regards the MR200.
Is there more setup required? For example, if the Sky (DSL) router remains the DHCP server (albeit with a failed DSL connection) and is the gateway at 192.168.0.1, how does the MR200 "take over" the gateway connection? MR200 DHCP setup is left at factory default per the instructions. I have tried setting a static IP that is removed from the DHCP pool issued by the Sky router but this does not help.
Connection to the MR200 configuration portal is at best a game of luck when switched into this AP+backup configuration. It is just too hard.
Why does this not work per the instructions?
Where is the support from TP-Link on this - there are many posts on this forum, like this one, with similar issues with this range of products. No answers. Why?
