    Hi DrEvilJim ,

     

    The latest FW 10.13.05.00 does not have port forwarding feature enabled.  Port forwarding will be enabled in a future MR but no ETA at this stage which I not what you want to hear.  I will update this post once it becomes available.

     

    Regards,

Hi Blanca,  do you have any update to this issue regarding port forwarding function for M2, and the new firmware upgrade that is supposed to resolve this issue.

Regards, jim

    Thank you for the straight answer. Unfortunately I have been told otherwise since late April and was not able to provide the webservices for my customer as informed by Telstra and Netgear. The difficult part is now discussing with Telstra why we need to get a credit for the M2 as we have been forced to purchase a second solution incorperating the Huawai B618 to have successful port forwarding. The manual and sales literature for Telstra states the M2 has this feature, but clearly dosent, and is therefor advertising features it dosen't have.

     

    The M2 was very fast and quite easy to operate, and having the battery was a bonus for any power interuptions we may have had. As far as how difficult it has been to get a straight answer is now what Netgear need to address.

     

    Thank you for being honest with the functionality.

    Hi Arodi

     

    Thank you for your assistance in clarifying the matter of port forwarding. I'm one of those who waits for this option actually.

     

    I need just one more clarification if you don't mind, my lastest M2 FW version is NTGX24_10.130.300 at the time I understood that the latest one should be 10.13.05.00, could you advise if I have anything wrong in updating my router?

     

    Many thanks 

    Abdulla

      Hi AbdullahAlHerz ,

       

      The latest firmware for MR2100-1TLAUS is 10.13.05.00.  Can you please help to clarify the model number of your device if it is not MR2100-1TLAUS?  If you are not using an MR2100-1TLAUS then you will not receive the 10.13.05.00 update.  Send me a PM with your details.

       

      Regards,
