Tags: #Firmware Update #Network Connectivity #Band Selection
Model: Archer MR600  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 240830 Rel.58384n

I’m using the Archer MR600 v5 (Firmware Version: 1.1.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 240830 Rel.58384n) and I would like to ask if there is a beta firmware version available that allows:

  • Full manual band selection / locking

  • Control over band aggregation behavior (e.g., choosing when and how bands like B1 and B3 aggregate)

  • Preventing the modem from disconnecting or reverting to single band when idle or under low load

I am aware that some older versions (v1/v2) have beta firmware with these features enabled. It would be great to have the same level of control on v5 hardware as well.

This is especially important for rural areas with specific signal conditions, where manual band locking provides much better and more stable performance.

Please let me know if a test firmware is available, or if such functionality is planned.
 

Thank you in advance.

Hi, welcome to the community. Thank you very much for your time and patience.

  • Full manual band selection / locking

Have you tried to manually search the available LTE bands here:

  • Control over band aggregation behavior (e.g., choosing when and how bands like B1 and B3 aggregate)

There hasn't been a beta firmware that allows customizing the Carrier Aggregation bands. It is not only related to the mobile router, but also to the current network bands' capacity of the connected cell(such as whether certain bands are crowded).

 

Thanks a lot.

Best regards.

  @David-TP Hello there,

 

Yes, I am using the same router and tried band locking. problem is, 4G+ appears only when downloading huge data or while speed testing. 

How can we keep 4G+ permanenetly ON?

Ciao,

 

this is clear but how we can keep the aggregation permanent?

 

This is very important for me due to poor signal in my area.

Hi, welcome to the community.

I'm afraid there hasn't been an option to lock the Carrier Aggregation bands on the Archer mobile router.

The success of certain Carrier Aggregation combinations highly depends on the current mobile signal strength of the SIM ISP. If the signal is noisy, the router will focus all its energy on maintaining just one stable connection rather than trying to juggle several unstable ones.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. What I'm also noticing is that the router is losing internet connection. The LEDs and signals are 100%, but there's no internet connection. The only solution is to turn it off and on again, and everything works. Any suggestions?

 

Honestly, when I purchased version 5, I thought I wouldn't have these problems.

When it works, it's quite fast compared to others, but it constantly disconnects.

 

THX in advance
