@TP-Link Hello,

 

I have the same problem: no internet service with Vodafone SIM. Same SIM in different mobile phones = no problem. Additionally, I used another SIM from another provider (Drillisch) that works also fine in a mobile phone, but identical to Vodafone's SIM in the MR600.

 

I tried several factory resets, but all ended the same way - list contained no profiles during Quick Setup:

 

So I created several profiles, using the APN that I get from Vodafone Hotline and tried numerous different combinations for the parameters...

 

But the outcome was always identical - no internet service:

 

As the firmware seems to be newer than the one at TP Link's site, I do not know what to do. Should I send the router back to the dealer?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Peter

@TP-Link Hello,

 

Thank you for your reply! In the meantime I called the support hotline and they send me a link with a (beta) firmware (http://kb.tp-link.com:8080/s/e5msk8rqQK5tStN). At the moment I installed it, the device restarted and connected itself to the Vodafone network (and from there to the internet).

 

So, everything is fine now :-).

 

Best regards,

 

Peter

I am in Thane, India and facing exactly the same issue with my newly bought Archer MR600 with Vodafone SIM. The screenshot is enclosed. You can see at the bottom of the screen shot that the firmware build is 210727 i.e., older than September 2021.

 

Can you please confirm if I need an upgrade in the firmware, just like the other person did in the original thread? If so, kindly send me the link for the latest firmware to solve this problem.

 

@TP-Link 

 

Thank you for the prompt reply ! However, when I cliked on the link you have shared, I am unable to see the version you have mentioned (V2_210914). The latest version can see is V2_210208. Please see the enclosed screenshot. It looks like an older version or am I missing something here ?

 

 

 

 

Can I use this link given in one of the previous posts? It seems to match the version you have mentioned viz. V2_210914 ?

(beta) firmware (http://kb.tp-link.com:8080/s/e5msk8rqQK5tStN).

Thank you. I was able to access the said version V2_210914. I have upgraded the firmware. Next problem was that my PC and mobile would not connect to IPv6 on the VI SIM. I found out on another thread that VI does not provide IPv4 connectivity. Also, MR600 does not provide for adding DNS for IPv6 format.

 

So I added IPv6 protocol to the ethernet adapter on my PC and finally I was connected to the internet !

 

Thank you very much.
