Nighthawk M2 MR2100 (Advanced Settings Missing)
How do I access the advanced functions within the new M2 MR2100 device. The standard login does not give me access to setup 'advanced' options as described in the manual such as port forwarding etc. ...
Hi Blanca,
Any idea when this new firmware will be available???
My product support will have ran out by the time this one problem has been recified - And I am still to get a reponse from my ticket reply a few weeks back. Hopeless so far.
Devices are also blocked from talking to each other between network types which is a PITA, and no way to override at the moment either.
I am fairly certain that it will not come out within the timespan you are looking for. Neither should you take their word on it that it will. I suggest you consider the following.
1) refund it and buy it at a later date when you find that the fw has the suitable features that you need.
2) buy a cheap router and use that to handle the port fw functions, with the M2 in ip passthrough mode. (so don't use it as a router at the moment).
3) refund it, and buy a M1 instead - that is a tested and proven product that has port forwarding and everything.
Best,
A.
How crappy is the customer support if netgear can't/won't give an idea when a feature will be available? They're selling the god damned thing advertising that it has this capacity when in reality it doesn't. I'm pretty certain there are laws in Australia that relate to false advertising and consumer protection that would be applicable in this situation.
