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

how do i manually reset the firmware of a device to netgear standard. i have a telstra device and i want to move carriers and need to restore to a netgear default.
- W1lliamOct 26, 2022VirtuosoThere is no generic stock firmware for Telstra model, you can only get it unlocked with the carrier before moving to other carrier
- BSL81Oct 26, 2022Tutorthanks, ive requested to have it unlocked by telstra already but it will still have their firmware. i also read and it may be mistaken that a further firmware update it wipes the unlock.
will the modem be usable by another carrier that doesnt directly sell the m2? e.g. if i plug in my optus sim will it work?- W1lliamOct 26, 2022VirtuosoIt has several factors that might be impacting your intended purpose -
1. If the sim from the other carrier allows you make it for hotspot usage
2. If this model does have proper bands supported for that particular carrier
3. If the carrier allows users to take their own hotspot device with provided sim
If above factors are all YES, and you have unlocked device, then you should be able to take it for the purpose.
