Any update for manual band selection in the MR600v1 official firmware?

 

@kernash Never......

The router is almost obsolete and nothing about a new official firmware with band selection.

It was my first router from TP Link and will be the last, I never saw so very bad support, it´s a shame.

Well, they released a new firmware for the MR600v1 just 2 months ago, but somehow "forgot" the band selection feature.

TP link has promised for over a year to implement the feature. Now it is too late to return it to the shop and get a refund. Or have it replaced with a v2.

The beta versions are outdated and there are 3 different betas to fix 3 different problems, but no version to fix all problems.

So i'll keep asking until someone from TP-link makes an actual statement (instead of promises and excuses) about the situation with the MR600v1.

Hey any answer any reaction? Tplink support is tooooo bad and you no answer to us, I saw Huawei routers support, their admins will answer too fast and support is very good, so sorry for TP-Link.

Hi, Support doesn’t get advanced notice of when new updates are being released or when a feature update will be available.  
Right now, the feature is planned but we cannot guarantee when or if. We do ask for updates and provide the information that we are able to, but release dates aren’t something that is known. The dates can change and often do. If we were to say X product or X feature was coming out on X date and it didn't that would be worst.

So if the beta firmware is not working, or you have further issues, we would be glad to provide any assistance.

But for the release date, we, like the rest of the users could keep checking regularly on Fridays when the website is updated.

@TP-Link 

Yes, but for mr6400 v5 , manuall Band selection frimware is in beta version about 10 months, and we think it's time to release a stable band selection update for it, although this beta version works good I tested it, but we don't like to use a beta version for long time, and , I request to add 3g band selection too, it has 4g band selection but it has no 3g band selection, just release a stable update, it's no need many changes, it can be ready so fast, because almost it's working good

How can I have band selection, and disabled mesh hidden SSID on the MR600v1 please.

And with normal background in the UI, not this "CONFIDENTIAL" "ONLY FOR TEST" thing that makes everything hard to read.

@kernash 

Hi, you have made a very solid point.
Did anyone have the same dilemma that needs to install the two, even more, beta firmware at the same time(please leave me a private message) so that I could push them again to speed up the process?
PS: Could not guarantee an official firmware, maybe a combination fix of all the current beta firmware without the watermark.

@Abdol 

For the manual band selection on the 3G band, I did not recall whether there was the same feedback before so I think it has not been planned yet.
Would you mind starting a new thread about this feature and let’s see how many users have the same needs?

@TP-Link 

Is it a hard work to add 3g band selection? You added 4g Band selection. So you did it actually, just complete it  not hard work it's simple now.

Just go and see Huawei routers framware and learn some user full option services

I am not able to change the firmware, getting below error for Archer MR200 v5 00000001:
Error code: 71211
"Failed to upload upgrade file. Please select the correct file."
However I am using the correct BIN file.
Thanks!

@Kevin_Z for MR200 v.5 EU it helps a lot. My router with latest official firmware kept insisting on using either Band 3 or 20 with 75% signal strength and these got 20-30 Mbps download. While Band 1 is at 100% of strength and gives me a 80 Mbps download. So I can't understand why official router FW keeps switching to lower signal band too. 

Sticking to this BETA, as no sign of LTE Band selection on the latest stable one. I hope someday it will be delivered. As it solves a big issue.
