Notes:
1) If there is still no internet or no IPv4 address when using the above beta firmware with Jio 5G SIM card, please check the default APN profile settings on Advanced->Network->Internet page, if the PDP Type is not on "XLAT", please create a new profile manually and set PDP Type as "XLAT", leave other parameters the same as default profile, then check if the problem will be resolved.
If so, please share with us the MCC&MNC of your SIM card, so that we could update the default profile settings for your SIM card.
You could insert the Jio 5G SIM card into your smartphone, then check the APN profile settings on the phone to find the MCC and MNC, please share with us the screenshot, thanks a lot!
2) The beta firmware is for Jio 5G SIM card only, please don't update it if you would like to use a different SIM card.
3) We will update this thread once there is any other beta firmware for other models or versions.
4) Please be sure you have read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding
If internet still doesn't work with 5G Jio SIM after updating the above firmware, please make sure the PDP Type in the APN profile is XLAT, and provide the following information for further follow-up:
1. A screenshot of the Advanced > Status page.
2. A screenshot of the Advanced > Network > Internet page.

@Sunshine Hey @Sunshine, After updating my TP-Link MR600V2 to the beta version, I noticed the router is not showing 4G+ however, the internet works fine. Does the carrier aggregation work with the beta firmware? I'm pretty sure it's the same Band40 I used to get 4G+ nothing has changed other than firmware.
Hi, before you update the beta firmware, I guess you were using a different SIM card, as Jio 5G SIM is unable to connect internet properly.
If it is indeed with the same SIM card, please follow this thread for troubleshooting: Carrier Aggregation or 4G+ doesn’t work properly on LTE Advanced Router

@Sunshine Thanks for your response. I am observing one more issue with this beta firmware what i am using right now. Earlier i have observed that my router was using LTE+ with this same SIM card (JIO-4G , now JIO-5G) . In this same location, i was able to get a LTE+ . However, right now, it is only giving me a LTE and using only one band (Either 3 , 5 or 40) Can you please fix that as well ?
Please let me know any type of advanced network testing as well if you need to do. I might be able to help ou out on that part as much as i can. (if needed)
FW version: Firmware Version:1.7.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 230801 Rel.61616n_Beta

@Sunshine I saw a latest firmware for MR600 v3 in global site (Archer MR600(EU)_V3_220727 published on 22-01-2024). Can I upgrade to that version from beta? Will Jio 5G sim work after upgrading to that version?

Hi, please stay on the beta firmware, the official firmware you mentioned doesn't include this fix.

Is there any solution available for TL MR100?
why nobody cares about this model? We have also wasted 3.5k money to purchase this model and it's been 6 months. Beta firmware should be available till now.
