@Sunshine After upgrading the firmware to the suggested Beta version, Internet worked for a month but again started facing the same issue. Also performance of Airtel sim has been degraded on this beta version.
Jio stopped working : It works for 5 minutes after factory resetting the device.
Airtel: Bandwidth dropped fro. 98 Mbps to somewhere between 13-18 Mbps.
When upgrading to the new firmware available: 1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 240716 Rel.54691n, Airtel's speed boosts but then not getting Xlat option for jio.
Please help in resolving the issue.

@Sunshine I upgraded my MR 100 v2 using the firmware but the PDP type still exists as IPv4 & IPv6. When I am trying to create a manual profile, it still doesn't show me the option to select XLAT as PDP type.
What am I missing here?

@Sunshine I’ve noticed that many users are facing issues with their Jio SIMs on TP-Link LTE Gateway routers after the 5G upgrade. One unconventional fix I've read about involves using aluminum foil to enhance the signal. By placing a small piece behind the router to reflect the signal, some users have reported better connectivity. You can find more about aluminum foil options. It might be worth trying if you're experiencing dropouts! Has anyone else had success with this method?
