Hardware Version : Archer MR200 v1 00000001
Firmware Version : 0.9.1 1.1 v004a.0 Build 160905 Rel.60037n
ISP : Orange (France)
Hi all,
I have a new Archer MR200 to replace my D-Link 3G/4G router (DWR-921).
I have a french "Orange" 4G SIM card (additional SIM card, data only) and I am currently in Spain.
When I use the MR200 (with both data and roaming activated), it fails to connect to the 3G/4G network (it says "unknown failure reason").
On the box, I see the 4 signal bars lighted, and in the interface I can see that it got 2 profiles (APN, etc) updated from Orange (Spain)... but still, it fails to connect.
Going back to the D-Link modem/router, everything works.
On the MR200, firmware is up to date. MR200 is in the EU version (V1).
My questions are:
- how can I get more info on what is going on? System log stays empty, not really helpful.
- Does the router need to be connected without roaming first?
- Why doesn't the router see other networks around ? It only shows "Orange" but there are at least 4 other operators around here (with strong signal) I can connect to.
Also, I tried to check the 3G/4G compatibility list, but the MR200 does not show up in the list.
Thanks for your help!

I solved this problem by enabling data roaming. To do this, connect to the router then go to tplinkmodem.net and log in - this give you a lot more options than the tp link app.
Go to network > internet then enable roaming.
Solved my issue when in Spain using a British sim
I learnt this via the manual, there seems to be very little other information online.

There is a trick. In automatic mode, router is unable to find proper login data.
You have to switch to static and fill your provider login manually.
Then it works.
Copy below, unfortunately in czech.

@nibheis I found this thread while experiencing the same problem and successfully solved it. I had to create my own profile, set APN to Static and APN name to 'internet'. Save, restart, all is sunny, internet connection works. The exact APN name you have to get from your provider. I was roaming in Croatia with Czech SIM from O2, so basically I had to use Czech O2's APN name, which is 'internet'. Don't ask me why. Hope this helps to resolvd this thread. Vladimir
