Disabling WiFi on Nighthawk MR2100
Intend to use the M2 MR2100 as a Modem only i.e. connect the device via Ethernet to an existing Netgear WiFi router. For this purpose I need to disable WiFi on the M2 but I can not find this feature on the device itself nor in the mobile app. Help is very much appreciated! Thanks!
Hi,
Fear that the required control to enable IP Pasthrough and the ability to disable the WiFi we know from the MR1100 (Nighthawk M1) have not made it yet to the MR2100 (Nighthawk M2) -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/IP-Passthrough-on-MR2100/td-p/1757905 ...

Appears that at leat for the TELTRA M2 a new firmwre should allow IP passthough (and hopefully disabling the WiFi, too) https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/IP-Passthrough-on-MR2100/m-p/1770812#M9815
