Hi chart69
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
May we please know the device SKU (e.g. MR2100-100EUS)? This can be checked on the box of the product or on the barcode label.
When you try to update the firmware, please make sure that the device is powered on with the battery and not just the power adapter.
Regards,
Blanca

Hi chart69,
MR2100-1TLAUS is a Telstra SKU unit. Did you purchase this unit from Telstra? There is no option to manually update the firmware as it is locked by the Internet Provider.
Have you tried factory resetting?

Hi Bianca
Yes the unit was purchased from Telstra.
I can go in through tghe web interface (but I have to connect by USB or Ethernet as the wi-fi is disabled) and I can go firmware update and have the option to be able to push a file.
If I do a factory reset (which I had tried previously) I still get the same description for the device (AC81xS) and nothing changed with regards to the diabled wi-fi
I also lose the internet settings totally and I have to manully re-enter these back into the device to get internet access.
