@Sunshine Hi Thanks for the response i updated the latest beta firmware mentioned in the solution. But not able to check the jio sim, rather as i mentioned having the issue for my vodafone sim as well.
After updating the beta firmware still the internet not connected then i did factory reset and again i have inserted the sim then its started internet connection and working.
But the current problem is some times the internet connection goes down without any reason for long time until we power cycle the device.
Once we reboot/power cycle the router than only router able to connect with internet.

@Sunshine I have the same issue with the MR400 v4. I have been waiting for a firmware update to resolve this issue for two months now. Why has my model not been updated when you have fixed the issue for all other models? I am very frustrated. Please resolve this issue and provide me with a firmware update.
