Firmware for Archer MR600 was updated to support Jio, I need to switch back to Airtel
In order to support Jio SIM for my Archer MR600 4G Router, I had updated the firmware to beta version from TPLink Portal. The router worked fine with Jio n/w. Recently I have moved another neighbourhood with stronger Airtel n/w. I prefer to switch my router to support Airtel now. I updated firmware of the router (1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 240716 Rel.54691n) and ISP (24071201) file with the latest versions available on tplink website. However, the router continues to support Jio but not Airtel.
Also I tried factory reset and tried to update a prior available version (Archer_MR600v3_1.1.0_220727_2022-07-28_08.40.30) available on TpLink portal. The system did not allow me to move to a prior firmaware version.
Am attaching few configuration screenshots for the reference.
Kindly suggest resolution.

@David-TP Thanks! Please excude for a little delayed response. Could not respond being in travel. I was eager to try the provided solution. Finally I could try the beta firmware you shared and it worked fine for both Jio and Airtel !! Thanks for your help!! One glitch to share, the admin portal shows four watermarks "Debug use, for tp-link Internal Use" across the screen. Do we plan to publish the version?

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.
The beta version-1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 240716 Rel.54691n and 1.1.0_220727_2022-07-28, are on different firmware platforms, and the 1.2.0 can't be downgraded back to 1.1.0.
And 1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 240716 Rel.54691n didn't lock the SIM ISP to JIO mobile only. I think it should work for Airtel as well.
Did it help if you tried to manually create a new APN profile and set the PDP type to "IPV4" only?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

@David-TP Thanks! New APN creation did not resolve the issue. Is there any option to rollback firmware back to a facility version? Tred option available via admin portal and at back of the device. The upgraded version didn't not rollback by both options. Kindly suggest if any other solution otherwise.

Hi, I'm afraid Archer 4G/5G routers don't support firmware recovery. Can you check whether you can install the beta firmware here for Archer MR600_V3:

Wait for your reply.
