    Hi mmbitang

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Can you try holding down the factory reset button for longer than 5 seconds?  Hold down until you see a change in the LED's then let go and see if that forces a factory reset.

     

    If issue still unresolved, kindly contact support to better isolate the issue for possible hardware problem http://www.netgear.com/support/contact.aspx

    I have a similar problem - 2 dots on the boot screen and a red blinking LED. My MR2100-1TLAUS can be switched to boot mode, but the firmware has all been removed from the Netgear website. Now it remains only to throw it away if I do not find the firmware anywhere. Netgear administrators Can you explain why all MR2100 firmware was removed?
