If you are already on the latest beta firmware which allows you to disable Onemesh feature, you may check if you still encounter an issue with the band selection or SMS, both should be also fixed on the latest beta firmware.

 

BTW, there will be a new official version to include all the fixes in the future.

More than 1 year without solving the problem in the updates. We are sold for bug and vulnerabilities with a "confidential, test only" version.
The router was charged to us as a complete product. Send me one for free and I'll be a beta tester for you.

With the firmware Archer MR600_V1 20201204 I can now read the SMS. Carrier at France used with this issue: Orange, Free, Bouygue Please, implement the fix of this firmware in the regular updates. It's very painful to upgrade the firmware 20201204, read the SMS and re-upgrade to the latest offcial firmware (for security purpose)

Hi @Kevin_Z, I tried installing the beta firmware for my MR600 v1 device and it created issues for my VPN connection. I am using GlobalProtect and the official firmware nor the other beta firmware version 1.1.0.0.9.1 v0001.0 build 200417 rel.75138n did not create issues with VPN.

 

I also tried resetting to factory default with the beta firmware from your post but it did not solve the issue.

What the hell is wrong with you, TP-Link people? Why is this STILL not included in the latest firmware for the MR600 v1? I have the same exact problem. The "beta" firmware fixes it but it is NOT fixed in the latest firmware which includes security updates. Really, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? It's been a couple of years!

  @Sunshine Thank you for your reply and sorry for the tone of my previous message. The firmware I was using was 1.3.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 210608 RC.66100n and I have the Archer MR600 v1 00000001. I have now installed the firmware you linked to and the text messages are visible.
