  @Ekkoh 

 

Hi, do you mean you've tried three Archer MR500 V1 with Tele2 SIM card, all of them have frequent LTE disconnecting issue every a few hours?

You've already tried the beta firmware provided in this thread, right? please let me know your current firmware version.

 

In addition, did you test the same Tele2 SIM card on other different 4G devices at same location? such as smartphone or other 4G routers. If not, please test and monitor for some time in case the SIM card or ISP has any issue in the area.

If the issue happens only with the MR500, please share with us a system log file after the issue happens(before rebooting it, or previous logs will be cleared.)

  @Sunshine Yes, i have tried three MR500 with Tele2 and they all have the same issue.

I have tried beta firmware without success. Currently running 1.5.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 230625 Rel.65051n.

 

i also have Tele2 for my mobile phone and it works without any problem. Tried my sim card from phone in to router and had the same issue. It only happens with MR500.

  @Ekkoh 

 

Hi, thank you very much for the reply.

You are using official firmware now but not the latest one, please update to the latest official firmware: Archer MR500(EU)_V1_1.6.0 Build 231016 to see if it is still the same:

Firmware Download for Archer MR500 V1

 

If it is still the same, I will escalate your case to our senior engineer for debugging.

Hi Sunshine, 

 

I have this problem too. I have switched to 1.7.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 231122 Rel.61263n_Beta

 

Is this the best firmware to use? The problem still persists. Can you tell anything from my logs?

 

Thanks!

  @DaveS76 

 

Root cause of the LTE disconnecting cannot be seen via the system log, please let us know if the same SIM card works stable on other 4G devices at the same location, who your ISP is, and also how often it happens now.

 

When the issue happens again, please login to the web interface, share with us screenshots of Advanced->Status page, and Advanced->Network->Internet page.

 

After that, we will escalate your case to our senior engineer for further debugging.
