Hi babel

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

May we please know the device SKU? The device SKU can be checked on the box of the product or on the barcode label, which should indicate MR2100-xxx. 

 

MR2100 EUS SKU has port forwarding feature enabled. Please check if you have the latest firmware.

Hi Blanca_O 


Device SKU: MR2100-1TLAUS

Firmware: NTGX24_10.13.05.00 
Firmware Build Date: 2019/05/14  (which the device reports as 'up-to-date')

 

Any chance of an ETA for a new firmware with port forwarding support for this, or is one unlikely to ever be released?

    Sorry for replying late.

     

    A maintenance release has been submitted to Telstra for approval testing. Port forwarding has been enabled in the MR release. We will post the release as soon as Telstra approve the release.

     

    Thanks for your patient.

     

    Thanks

      Thanks JohnPeng, that's great news! :)

      Can you give any idea of roughly when the maintenance release was submitted to Telstra, and how long these approvals usually take on average?

        The release was submitted to Telstra on April 2nd. Usually it would take 2 weeks for the approval testing. But this one may be delayed by some other high prioirty products. Please standby.

         

        Thanks
