Hi, may I know how long you have had the Archer MR600?

 

As the current firmware version seems quite old, have you tried to start from Archer MR600(EU)_V2_220105

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Thank you, David, for your reply. I have tried your suggestion, but unfortunately, it still shows me error code: 71211. 

 

 

 

I would also like to mention that the Hardware Version is Archer MR600 v2 00000001

Hi, Archer MR600(EU)_V2_220105 is also for Archer MR600 v2 00000001.

May I know how long you have had the 4G router?

It is also suggested to back up the current configuration under Advanced>System Tools>Backup& Restore, then factory reset the router once and update the firmware before it is re-configured.

(The local firmware upgrade doesn't need internet access, but you might need to download Archer MR600(EU)_V2_220105 bin file first.)

Best regards.

I recently bought the router used, and I don't know how long the previous owner had it.

 

Following your suggestion, I reset the router, and it prompted me to download v1.3 in the web interface. Then I manually updated it to v1.6.

 

However, I encountered another problem when I tried to go to a higher version (it notified me to download v1.8). When I downloaded it, the progress bar got stuck at 75%.

Switching to manual update completes the upload, but when it reaches the reboot phase, the router won't reboot.

Hi, if you manually reboot the router, will the firmware version change to 1.8.0?

 

Given that the Archer MR600_V2 is an older model and was previously owned, it is possible that there could be some minor imperfections present in the current hardware.

It would be much better to purchase a new model with the latest hardware and firmware versions.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
