You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but your mobile router is not like the bog standard router so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
thank you, i am happy for a mod to do that. i did search support for an earlier version of firmware download , but none for my model i could find
What did you search for?
There is no "m2100". (See your subject.)
sorry that is a typo , i searched for previous /prior versions of mr2100 firmware
- First I am sorry for bumping this thread , but I just wanted to give an update on my problem . I have googled and tried turning off every option in modem interface ( m.home) aka , trial by elimination , which led me by accident to find a poor solution to the problem which is. Start PC use wifi to connect , then restart modem , this way there will be no M.home running . If I connect via lead there will be 2 M.homes , sometimes 3 running using twice as much data. If , using wifi and I don't restart modem , there will only be 1 M.home using 64 KB continuously .
Strange days indeed. I have tried anti malware and anti virus and have had computer " expert " look at it . As stated, this only happens with the MR2100 no other modem . In summing up,
FOR SALE , 1 Netgear MR2100 modem , comes preloaded with complimentary spyware ...
