What Firmware is currently loaded?

Thanks for the reply! I cannot find the info on my modem, its the one provided by Charter/Spectrum Cable, there’s no product info located on it.

Modem info would be helpful. Is there a sticker behind or under the modem giving model# info?
You can use a wired PC and web browser and navigate to your RBRs web page and log in and look at the Internet status. Do you see a ##.##.###.### address there or a 192.168 or 10.something address listed here.
Just checking to see if the modem may already have a built in router.

The only info I can see is “MO 2151009228-01L1”, in addition to a “CM MAC” and “MTA MAC” number.
I really appreciate your interest in helping!

Any update on this?
Can you post a picture of the ISP modem?
