I'm trying to purchase the MR1100-2A1NAS but can't find where to buy this specific unit. Can you help point me to where you are buying these units. I'm in the country outside Austin Tx.

Isn't the MR1100-2A1NAS just the regular retail version (Gen 2 with Band 14)?

These should be available from att.com., AT&T corporate stores, Best Buy, eBay, etc. Is there something I'm missing? I have the original MR1100-1A1NAS as I bought mine in March (of 2018) right before the secret roll out of the Gen2 unit.

What I want is the new MR2100 -- which hasn't been released in the USA, yet.

What's funny is that there is no physical or hardware difference between the MR1100-2A1NAS and the MR1100-1A1NAS. Netgear literally slapped on a new SKU and enabled band 14 via software. And no, I don't know how to enable band 14 on the 1A1NAS short of flashing the modem partition which would probably end in a soft brick.
