    ISP is responsible for pushing FW updates to C and CM series modems. 

  • My ISP says since I bought my own router and did not rent from them that to update my firmware I will need to contact "the manufacturer"....Netgear. :>) Does anyone have the download or what is needed to update the firmware?  I don't think I'm going to get anywhere with Mediacom (ISP).  Current FW version is V1.01.13.   Thank you much!

      There is NO WAY for an end user to update combo devices. Its built into the provisioning that the ISP sends to the device. 

      so maybe that screen snip of the cable connections page and event log can help with figuring out the stability issues.
