i bought this router to replace my older TL-MR3420 v1,which i used for more than 10 years until the usb port stopped working.Unfortunately the V5 version of the router[latest version] is incompatible with almost all of the bsnl evdo dongle except micromax mmx310c[micromax dongle worked only briefly].I contacted tp link support and according to them, this v5 router is compatible with the following 8 dongle only
Data Card Model Number ISP SIM
E3372 HUAWEI Reliance Jio
E3372 HUAWEI Airtel
E3372 HUAWEI Vodafone
E3372-H-607 HUAWEI Reliance Jio
E3372-H-607 HUAWEI Airtel
E3372-H-607 HUAWEI Vodafone
ZTEMF833T ZTE Airtel
ZTEMF833V ZTE Vodafone
I also enquired about any .bin file for the older dongles including zte 8700, zte ac2766 etc, but that too is not available according to tp link.It was hard to believe that this excellent router has gone back in terms of compatibility and usability.
hence those who are looking for a router to be used with bsnl evdo will have look else where,probably tenda 4g630 or tenda 4g600 or d303,although i haven't used them personally.
hope tp-link come to their senses and restore the compatibility for which they were known for.
