Note: For MR600 v1/v2, Please note that not all combinations of the 4G bands are supported in 4G+ mode. Only when the router and the SIM card support the same combinations of 4G band in 4G+ mode, the bands might be aggregated successfully.

Besides from the beta firmware, it is also planned to release the official firmware for Band selection. Keep an eye on the official website or router web GUI for the new updates.

If you are not sure about how to select the band manually on the router web interface, check the instructions below:

@Kevin_Z

sorry same problem for me: it's one month that my mr200 V2.1 keeps disconnecting from Vodafone Italy carrier. I have to remotelly manage heat and surveillance in my countryhouse. I have no one that can reboot the router. This is a great problem. Please update firmware urgently or send me a new router.

I have an MR6500v and this uncommon situation: I can connect to two different cells, one with bands 1 and 20 (cell 1), the other band 3 (cell 2). The router connects with cell 1 on auto settings, but the bandwidth is higher with cell 2 so this is my preferred cell. I can force a connection with cell 2 by manually selecting only band 3. But I would like to still be able to connect to cell 1 should cell 2 be offline, as has happened recently. Is there a way to do this? Basically auto band selection with a manually selected preferred band.

@Duday Yes.

@HansWurst I am afraid TL-MR6500v does not support this feature yet.
