Hi,
No real updates about that. Checked Netgear US website and did not find MR2100 there. I think product should first appear US website when release is approaching.
OMG, is the MR2100 ever coming to AT&T? I cannot believe the MR1100 (which I have) is still $250 and is slower than ever -- I never break 100 Mbps on this device, usually its more like 10-60Mbps. And this is on the "5GE" Philadelphia network. In contrast I get over >100Mbps nearly everywhere on my iPhone, sometimes >200Mbps.
My ZTE Velocity2 (no longer offered for sale) is just as fast as the MR1100, and much more stable. I've thought about getting a Velocity Explore or Express, but honestly the Netgear firmware is so poor, and so infrequently updated, I'm fairly skeptical.
