Model: Archer MR600  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 220815 Rel.61640n

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if you have a beta firmware that would allow selecting individual CA bands for MR600 v2.

The option is available for MR600 v1 using the following beta firmware:

And here is a screenshot of the individual band selection interface from MR600 v1:

 

Currently on my MR600 v2, the band selection interface is as follows:

 

As you can see, it does not allow selecting band A and band B separately. I'm looking for a firmware that supports the feature for v2 of the MR600.

 

Thank you.

Hi

 

Based on the firmware version of your MR600, we suspect that it was supplied by your internet service provider. We recommend reaching out to your provider to verify if there is a beta version available.

Hello Joseph

 

I found my current firmware shared on this forum. It was not provided by my ISP.

 

Previously I had the latest official firmware that I updated by going through the inbuilt firmware updator.

 

The reason for flashing the current firmware was to get the option to disable the ghost wifi created by "one-mesh" feature.

So back to the original issue, is there a beta firmware that allows selecting Band A and Band B separately on the MR600 V2. I have attached a screenshot of this feature on MR600 V1 below for better understanding:

  @stockreaper hi, if you're still searching for answer : you can actually select 2 bands, click on Search then it should display the availble bands. Select two.

If you only see one band when clicking Search, exit and try again.

Worked for me and i managed to get 4G+ most of the time (I suspect when load is low it only use 4G, then use 2 bands when 4G+ makes sense)
