SIM card keeps locking
ARCHER MR500
The SIM card keeps locking in our new router. It works for awhile then we lose internet and when I go to reconnect it says SIM locked. Once I put the PIN in it reconnects for a little while but then disconnect again due to locked PIN.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I don't have an MR500 myself and therefore can't verify this, but according to the MR500 Emulator on TP-Link's website you can disable the PIN Lock via the MR500's web management inferface. Actually there should even be an "Auto-unlock" feature that would allow to keep the SIM card's PIN Lock activated and have it unlocked automatically by the router.
That webpage can be accessed via http://tplinkmodem.net or http://192.168.1.1 .

Hi,
Have you noticed whether the MR500 involuntarily restarts (reboots) itself the moment you loose Internet access?
As a short-term solution you could deactivate the SIM card lock altogether.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I've not seen if it reboots itself.
I didn't know that I could deactivate the SIM card lock. How do I do that please?!
Thanks again.
