Netgear Nighthawk M2 Firmware Download
Does anyone have the latest firmware for this device, Netgear support will not provide it.

Hi ... bought a refurbed, unlocked M2 from Amazon ... looks like normal UK firmware but John Peng's post intimates there is a new one ?
From scanning the posts it looks like EE blocks the firmware update process (pain as that's my network with a spare PAYG sim) - but if I stick my wife's Tesco/O2 sim in is still sits and spins on the checking firmware option ...
Do I need a genuine O2 data sim to get it to go through and check properly ?
Annoying there's no sideload via the usb port ?

Based on the screenshot, your device is MR2100-100EUS. There is a newer update for the device now. If you have the issue to check for update using SIM card, please try check for update when connecting through WiFi or Ethernet offloading.
Thanks
