    Hey,

     

    Let's hope that Netgear enables 6CA/7CA support for MR2100 later(license thing). I think many cell operator's who have enough spectrum available are interested in this 6CA/7CA feature. It looks like there is no support for this at the basestation side yet.
     I also hope that 5G hype does not slow down 4G evolution, which still has untapped potential like this 6CA/7CA.

    Does MR2100 have a static DNS support, lacking in MR1100?

    Will there be a US version anytime soon, with FDD-LTE bands B2,B4,B12 support?

      MR2100 DNS mode choices are 'Auto' and 'Manual'. I have not heard anything about US-version so far.

        I may have misspoken, calling dynamic DNS, such as No-IP, or dyndns.org "static", but either way your response has nothing to do with my question. Auto/manual DNS options are regular network configuration options, and not related to dynamic DNS feature I'm asking about. 

         

        Regarding US version - I was hoping to get a reply from Netgear staff, who would know for certain.

    Any ideas when this will be released in the UK?
