    I am not sure but Intel said I have the latest.

    All my other devices connect to the MR5100 without problems, including a Dell laptop, HP printer, Mac mini, etc.

    I am currently connected to a Verizon jetpack so I at least have internet service.

    The desktop has always connected to any internet providers I have used in the past.
