TL MR 100 Carrier Aggregation and Issue with Band Selection.
Hi Everyone,
Good Day.
I bought the TL MR100 V1 router a month ago.
I have a lot of compatibility and Network issues with TL MR100.
Here I post list of observations and review:
Network Drop and Disconnection Issue:
The network signal drops often. Whenever signal Drops the internet is disconnected.
Whether 100% to 75% OR 75% to 50% it happens.
For this issue I got beta firmware and currently using beta version and selected the band on 4G only mode.
Still this happens.
Beta firmware doesn't allow to select 3G band manually and Not supporting HSPA+:
I have very good 3G signal when compared to 4G, So I changed 3G only mode in settings.
I'm receiving HSPA+ in My mobile but not in TL MR 100.
TL MR 100 doesn't have manual band selection for 3G also working for HSPA+.
I see that TL MR 100 claims it can support UTMS/HSPA+ but not working on UTMS/HSPA+ why?
Is this because of beta frimware?
How to switch to HSPA+ on particular band?
Developers and Engineers please try to address these issues and release a good firmware.
Thanks,
Aravind S.

Bad day.
I installed the latest version from the link you provided.
Firmware Version:1.3.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 201016 Rel.35768n
Worst ever firmware I have ever seen. Are you guys testing it before releasing it?
When I select Advanced->Network->Internet->Band->Manual it's searching for a while. I was waiting for more 3 to 4 minutes. no way to cancel the search. No way to select the band. beta firmware far better than official one.
After 3 to 4 minutes I got the following error. Don't know why. In my area I have Band 40 and Band 1 available tested with mobile.
Same search issue happened with Advanced->Network->Internet->Network Search. searching for a while. after 3 to 4 minutes it detected only one network.
I regret why I bought TP link product.
Please try to address the issue earliest.
Please test before releasing the firmware, it makes customer more angry when things doesn't work.
Also you not answered some of my questions on previous post. This version doesn't answer my all my questions not even one.
I would like to fall back to beta firmware. It was far better than official release.
UPDATE 1:
Date: 07th November 2020
Time: 17.10 UTC
Bug:
If I turn off the Mobile data. then it search the band after few minutes.
If mobile data turned on I got the error.
More problems:
1.Network search also failed many times. No clue sometimes takes 3 to 4 minutes then showing the network. Many times getting the following error.
2.Frequent internet/wifi disconnection seen in this release.
3. I changed my the sim card on the router.
When I insert the second sim Internet not even connecting.
I looked and found that previous band selection is applied to the second sim.
My Airtel ISP work with Band 1 and Band 40
My vodafone ISP work with Band 1,Band 3 and Band 41
Don't TP link developers think this usecase/testcase?
So If I need to change the sim every time I have to go and change the settings. Ridiculous.
4. Whole WiFi disconnection when changing the settings and band selections.
Sometimes the router unresponsive. Suddenly internet and WiFi disconnected and black white page is showing.
UPDATE 2:
Date: 22nd November 2020
Time: 02.25 UTC
1. @Sunshine Till the date no reply from officials.
2. Wireless disconnection issue happening heavily. Automatically disconnecting from the device.
3. HSPA+ not working
4. Band selection not working searching for a while still no result many times. Even if I turn off mobile data.
5. Network selection not working.
6. I thought downgrading to beta firmware could solve the problem but no way to downgrade firmware.
Thanks,
Aravind S.

Can you guys check the solution provided by other customers on this thread?

When you insert the VI sim card into the MR100, can we have a screenshot of the Advanced > Status page?
If possible, please test another SIM card on the MR100, check if it can connect to the internet.
If it works with another SIM card but cannot work with the VI SIM, please send us the whole system log on the MR100, we will investigate.

+1, facing same issue. when same sim card inserted to android mobile phone at same location speed is double than tp link MR 100. i dont belive that i have spent INR 4100 to reduce speed. Mobile Phone Hotspot is far better than this TP LINK MR 100 router.
looks Android phone is creating two connections and providing double speed than this router.
Tried on Airtel checked all the band 3 and 40, both providing slow speed than mobile phone.
