Does MR2100 have dynamic DNS support, sorely lacking in MR1100? I'm interested in using it as a primary home internet solution and want to know if the router supports inbound connections from outside using dynamic DNS, such as no-ip.com or dyndns.org, so I could remote into home computers while away. Will there be a US version anytime soon, with FDD-LTE bands B2,B4,B12 support? If so, ETA?

If someone is going to be removed from this forum at all, I vote for this person to be Apollon, apparently the god of unfriendliness and disrespect.

Your tone is wonderful... :0) It still isn't clear what you are trying to achieve asking for DDNS whilst at the same time adding CG-NAT into the situation. If you are behind CG-NAT then is no DDNS solution that can help you. You can either seek a routable IP from your service provider. This will likely come at a cost. Or you can go the VPN/proxy access route to be able to publish and access services behind CG-NAT. I set up a lightsail server with wireguard VPN and port forwarding back to the internal network. This comes at a monthly cost for the infra and then extra cost depending on bandwidth used. Alternatively you can use services like ngrok (free for light simple use) that will offer proxied access back to your home network that is behind CG-NAT, https://ngrok.com/ With almost all carriers using CG-NAT there is limited to no use in a DDNS client running on the M1/2. Whatever address it gets back for you is not going to be any use to get you back into your network. You need to look at other options if that is what you are trying to achieve.

Rather than just posture about how right you are and how wrong I am, how about you share your information related to the easy workaround for CG-NAT and also how implementing a DDNS client on the Netgear would help. You keep mentioning a lack of DDNS support, can you please explain what would be solved if you have either the CG-NAT external IP or the internally assigned IP that could only ever be supplied by the client? As stated earlier whatever IP you get from a DDNS client is NOT going to be routable if you are behind CG-NAT. There are whole business models offering paid for solutions to help people solve this problem. I mentioned one already, ngrok. Essentially a proxy solution. I don't disagree that a DDNS client could be useful in some situations. But the moment CG-NAT got mentioned then there is simply no way DDNS can help you here for the reasons in the paragraph above. Your experience and roles sounds impressive... however you seem less than capable to discuss a topic that might require a back and forth. What of what I wrote earlier was incorrect to the tune of 90%? Consider I have a CG-NAT setup, I have implemented a solution both using a vpn tunneling setup and also light weight proxying via ngrok that has allowed me to access my network remotely and publish persistent services via static links. None of this was possible using any form of DDNS client. I also know what I am talking about. If you still disagree rather than just say so, then SHARE what you know.

It is a technical forum and I have only ever responded witht technical discussion. I am not trolling but tried to engage in a technical conversation regarding the request to add DDNS as a solution to get around CG-NAT. My position is that it will only work when you are either NOT behind CG-NAT (rare) or you have a service specifically allowing services to be advertised and accessed, usually a business type contract (expensive). There are options but none rely on DDNS and rather use VPN or proxy type solutions. I have no issue being educated to other methods, however you have not provided any technical discussion on why you think what I have presented is not the case. You rather seem offended someone is simply disagreeing with you on a technical level. Relax a little and engage in discussion. See some sites all repeating the same message. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT "Disadvantages[edit] Critics of carrier-grade NAT argue the following aspects: Like any form of NAT, it breaks the end-to-end principle.[5] It has significant security, scalability, and reliability problems, by virtue of being stateful. It makes it impossible to host services. It does not solve the IPv4 address exhaustion problem when a public IP address is needed, such as in web hosting." https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/9e707d/what_are_my_options_to_get_around_a_carrier_grade/ https://www.donaldsimpson.co.uk/2016/10/24/tunneling-out-of-carrier-grade-nat-cgnat-with-ssh-and-aws/ https://www.donaldsimpson.co.uk/2017/01/30/using-ngrok-to-work-around-carrier-grade-nat-cgnat/ https://amoss.me/2017/05/port-forwarding-behind-a-carrier-grade-nat/ https://superuser.com/questions/1258093/set-up-a-web-server-behind-a-carrier-grade-nat "So the only ways to set up a server behind a NAT you don't control are: Make the ISP do port-forwarding... yeah, that's not gonna happen. (Even though in theory NAT-PMP was supposed to permit that.) Obtain your own global address from somewhere else, for example there are VPN providers which support server hosting and can give you a static address. If you have IPv6, that would be globally reachable, though you'd additionally need a service which can proxy connections from IPv4-speaking clients to your IPv6-only server (e.g. CloudFlare might do the job)."

Hi,
Just heard that there will be US-version of M2.

  Are you able to share the source of this information? If it's a public knowledge, and not Netgear insider knowledge - could you share a link?

    Let's say information comes from highly credible industry inside source.

  TeeJay74 Is your source able to provide at least a rough estimate for US availbility, like this spring/summer/fall, Q4 2019, etc?

  n3t "friendliness" is not a quality, which normal/sane/reasonable people apply to their stockers, trolls and people, who deliberately antagonize them and spread false information around. Please go away, and take phillipmcmahon with you - you can be his groupie somewhere else. Neither you, or your opinions/votes/concerns/complaints/desires/aspirations are welcome in my thread. A wise lady once told me: only express your opinion if asked for it, or if it benefits the other person - otherwise STFU and mind your own business. It's a good advice and I'm giving it away for free - take it.

    Well, if you don't even follow your own advice in your thread — haha, this claim of ownership is outright ridiculous! — why should anybody bother to take it? Go away yourself! 😀
