The AT command is disabled on purpose to prevent the users to hack the device. This is part of the security enhancement.

Wow straight from the vendors themselves. Netgear intentionally retains ownership and operation rights over sold devices. Customers do not own anything when purchasing netgear your device is just a ticket to become a member of the netgear engineered and netgear controlled intranet system. That is scary. Are there data privacy tools/dnsleak tools engineered into the hardware too? I am worried now that control and owbership are no longer purchaseable options. Literally. Ownership is not an option. Purchased products are good for life but not owned by the purchasee and not forever supported or endorsed by netgear support and not repairable under emergency / crisis circumstances without DIRECT netgear engineered intervention. End users buying netgear are tied to netgear support for all issues for life with no hope of easily resolving issues on their own.
I can give them that for blocking openmep, 2 things i can think of
1. protecting source code
2. to prevent unauthorized "hack/access" to system that could help hackers find vulnerability in the system putting other users at risk, such as putting backdoor access when reselling the device
This one thing I dont like, forced firmware update without user consent, please address this
There is no option to disable firmware updates on MR1100. You will be notified that there is an update available and will be given an opportunity to update the firmware 3 times. If after the 3rd time the firmware is not updated then MR1100 will update the firmware.
