How do I access the advanced functions within the new M2 MR2100 device. The standard login does not give me access to setup 'advanced' options as described in the manual such as port forwarding etc. I bought this device outright from a telstra store in australia.

Hi there can anyone including netgear tell me if the MR2100 has port forwding capabilities. If it does no seema to know how to access it?? Cheers Bruce

I’m also still waiting.Contacted support and that didn’t help either. It’s a great device but without basic functionality control it’s just a paper weight for me.

I returned my nighthawk after 4 months of BS from Telstra and Netgear. I need a static IP address and port forwarding for my business which is in a cowork, so there are some 200 businesses using the network making it a soft target if there was port forwarding on the native network. After a few months of having smoke blown up my ass by Telstra and netgear w.r.t. the port forwarding firmware, I bought a nighthawk m1 as a stop gap. I then spent several trips to the Telstra shop and paid yet more money for the IT help only to discover that There was only a pseudo-static IP that reset every time the modem was turned off rendering it useless for my purposes. Honestly, this item is a piece of **bleep** if you want it for port forwarding with a static IP. It was all I could do not to forcibly insert the nighthawk M2 into a Telstra employees anus. They’re still flogging this piece of **bleep** off to people too. I am still out of pocket from this experience and considering having a chat with ACCC.

It will be released in an upcoming firmware update - there were some issues with it previously.

Hi All, This has been brought up already to engineers. This will be fixed on the next firmware release. Regards, Blanca Community Team
