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 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:

Please explain what does it mean by locked up multiple times in two days? Did the router get stuck, you cannot login or manage it, or unable to connect to the internet?

Since I upgraded to the new beta the router (MR600) has locked up multiple times in two days, only solved by a reboot
You really need to enable the daily reboot option, it slowed to a standstill after 1/2 to 3 days on all previous versions. Haven't tested on this beta. It's not a complete solution, I power cycle every week as well. It's a disappointing device even when it's working.
Also possible your configuration is broken, export the settings, reset to factory and reimporting them is worth trying.

Hi, I tried to install the beta version firmware for my router TL-MR150(EU) V1, but it did not work. The installation process aborts with the following warning "Error code: 71211 Failed to upload upgrade file. Please select the correct file".
Obviously I uploaded the file "LTE_GATEWAYv3_1.11.0_0.9.1_up_boot(200325)_2020-06-12_15.48.55", as indicated by you. Please, fix quickly this issue, otherwise I will have to reject the router, which I bought just six months ago. Thanks for your support.

Hi, before the upgrade, did you extract the zip file? Any other computers for you to try to upgrade?

Yes, of course I extracted and uploaded the file .bin, but it did not work. I have tried also by a different computer, but the installation process continue to abort as before: always the same warning with error 71211 is shown.
The router without the manual band selection is useless, because by means the auto selection it exploits the band 20, which in Italy permits a slow internet connection. I suppose the new firmware is unstable yet. Please, solve this problem.
Thanks for your quick feedback.

That is weird, you may download the beta firmware again from the link that I previously provided to try again.
BTW, we have reported the issue to the support engineers, they will likely reach out to you via email to continue to troubleshoot your issue.
