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
- thingamajigJun 24, 2021TutorFirst 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 ...

What is the issue here? I think you are using Telstra MR2100.
When you use the device, the data will go through your device. m.home is the interface for the data link. All the data used on your M2 will be shown passing through m.home. So I think this is expected.
Thanks
