Nighthawk M2 MR2100 Port forward help

Hello, 

 

Can someone please help me with port forwarding my Router to host a server. I recently bought this device and have no idea how to port forward it.

 

Thanks for reading.

    Hi DrEvilJim ,

     

    The latest FW 10.13.05.00 does not have port forwarding feature enabled.  Port forwarding will be enabled in a future MR but no ETA at this stage which I not what you want to hear.  I will update this post once it becomes available.

     

    Regards,

    You cant yet. A new firmware will be out soon which enables the feature. It was removed soon after release after they discovered it broken....

      I have just update the the new firmware after the long re-assurance that the port forwarding would be enabled and there is no change to the menu. 

       

      What is going on! This has been assured to me by both Netgear and Telstra and was sold to me as a solution back in April for its Port Forwarding abilities....

        Hi Bourkie

         

        May we please have the firmware version? Kindly PM me the device IMEI and PRI or you can provide a screenshot of the About tab page.
