    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 Blanca,  do you have any update to this issue regarding port forwarding function for M2, and the new firmware upgrade that is supposed to resolve this issue.
