Model: TL-MR6400  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: TL-MR6400(EU)v5_1.7.0_0.9.1_[240716-rel67874]_up_boot_All_Release_2024-07-17_17.59.34

Hi,

I bought a TL-MR6400 and doesn't connect to mobile 4G band.

No possibility to set  manual band (error 89534), nor set 4G only (error code 1 - internal error).

I tried all firmware versions available on official website.

I read several threads on forum without solving.

Last ISP file is outdated compared to firmware versione.

Sim is OK and tested on other devices.

 

Router hw version 5.30 - EU

I have 5 TL-MR6400 , two with hardware V.1 and three with 5.0 : with these no problems, but with the last one (v. 5.3) I can't get connection.

 

System log:

1 2025-06-26 13:58:20 4G Information ERROR: QMI NAS Set preferred network failed, ret = 0.
2 2025-06-26 13:57:31 4G Information ERROR: [band scan] Set pref net failed for pci scan!!!
3 2025-06-26 13:57:31 4G Information ERROR: QMI NAS Set preferred network failed, ret = 0.
4 2025-06-26 13:57:17 SYSTEM Information

User(Mac:00:1D:72:EA:14:11;IP:192.168.1.2) logs in.

 

 

 

 

 

In menu advanced\network\internet after checking sim, the status is disconnected

In advanced\status the network type is "no service"

 

How can I solve ?

 

thank you

Hi@CLA-ATR,

Welcome to our community.

 

For your issue, would you mind trying different SIM cards for this new router? 

Also, you can try the following FAQ troubleshooting suggestions:
No internet connection when using TP-Link Wireless 4G LTE Router working as 3G/4G Router Mode

 

If you don't mind, please take some screenshots of the Advanced page, we can check the status of router to locate the issue.

Hi Joseph, thank you.ù

I already tried different Sims and I already seen and checjed the FAQ link you posted.

I'm out of office for some days, when I'll come back I'send you screenshots.

As said, I have other five MR6400 with the some SIms and network carrier and in that case no problems.

Hi@CLA-ATR,

Thank you for getting back to me.

 

Please hard reset the TL-MR6400:

Press and hold WPS/RESET button until the Power LED starts flashing to reset the router to its factory default settings

 

Have you created a new profile for a try? Please set the APN Type to Dynamic.

Then go to change to the new profile at the Profile Name option.

 

If it still doesn't work, contact your retailer for a replacement.
