Note: For MR600 v1/v2, Please note that not all combinations of the 4G bands are supported in 4G+ mode. Only when the router and the SIM card support the same combinations of 4G band in 4G+ mode, the bands might be aggregated successfully.
Besides the beta firmware, it is also planned to release the official firmware for Band selection. Keep an eye on the official website or router web GUI for the new updates.
If you are not sure about how to select the band manually on the router web interface, check the instructions below:

I was using the beta firmware, the new version was not reported to me. Thanks for giving this information.
I downloaded and installed this v1.3.0_0.9.1_[210608-rc66100]. Alas, no more manual configration of the bands. I hope now the connection of Archer 600v1 will still 100% stable.

Hi @Kevin_Z ,
After upgraded, only 1 band is allowed to lock instead of 2..
Need to make a selection either for band 3 or band 7.
Mine:
Hardware version
Archer MR400 V3
Could you please do help and advise on this matter.
Thanks.

"SMS fixed"
What you mean?
Do you all your SMS in Advanced / SMS / Inbox?
i dont.
I see only a new SMS in Basic / NetworkMap and can only read the SMS once.

I guess you are inquiring Carrier Aggregation function? MR400 doesn't support Carrier Aggregation, only MR600 supports it, please check the product specifications:
