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:

@Kevin_Z Could you guys allow Carrier Aggregation support on "Vi India" it uses B1, B3 combination....
My mobile device aggregates successfully... But TP Link Archer MR600 doesn't seem to aggregate.... I even tried locking bands on beta firmware too, no improvement...
I kindly request you to allow 1,3 CA at firmware level
Thanks in advance!

Hi, actually selecting the band manually is to inform the 4G base station the band we would like to use, but it is decided by the base station whether and how the bands will be aggregated. We are unable to force them to work on specific band combinations.
It is recommended to choose the band combinations with better speed and stable connection, if the signal is not very stable, you could also leave it on Auto so that it will change to other band automatically when specific band has weak or no signal.

Hi, MR600 v2 has already supported the band selection feature, you can find it on the web GUI Advanced >Network >Internet page, when you choose the band, it will search for the available bands, choose one that is labeled with your ISP.
If you still cannot find the option to choose the band manually, please show us the screenshot on the Network page, we can confirm.
