The MR2100 has a basic dlna server. 

So it can stream files (in supported formats) to a device that can stream dlna content. Again, it needs to stream using its built in dlna client.  

here's straight from the manual. 

Play Media
The NETGEAR Mobile app includes a MyMedia shortcut that displays categories of
supported media types to play back. You can connect any DLNA-compatible client to
the mobile router. This includes computers running Windows Media Player and other
DLNA–enabled devices such as smart TVs.
To play media using the NETGEAR Mobile app:
1. On your smartphone, connect to the mobile router’s WiFi network.
2. Launch the NETGEAR Mobile app.
3. Swipe down.
The dashboard displays.
4. Tap Storage.
The Storage page displays the used and available storage for each connected device.
5. Tap MyMedia.
