Netgear M2 root access?
I had seen old article here on gaining access to root prompt and perform certain iptables commands on older M1.
I need to do similar commands on Netgear M2 (MR2100), but unable to get it.
Any help here?
And recently I am unable to putty into my M2, always getting connection refused after 1-2 seconds.. if I were quick with my fingers to issue AT commands, (ie. ATI ) it does return output before it got disconnected.
It is from the Windows firewall, or some settings in M2?
No sim card slotted, do u need a working active cellular network to perform above?

The Netgear M2 is a mobile hotspot device that provides best internet connectivity. As a user, you typically don't have root access to the Netgear M2 device. The manufacturer restricts access to the root or administrative functions of the device to maintain its security and stability.
