C3000-100NAS Firmware Update

I have version V1.01.11.  My service provider, Time Warner Cable, told me to check to see if there is an update to my firmware since the Internet seems to have gotten slower lately.  When I go to 'router update' thru Genie, the following message is returned:  Failed to get firmware version information.  Am I doing something wrong?  Or is there no update available?  Or, is it an issue with Windows 10?  Thank you.

    Hello sharmar10

     

    All firmware is pushed out by your ISP so if there is a new firmware update all you would need to do is unplug the modem and plug it back in and it would download it on its own. Cable gateways cant update the Firmware manually.

        Yes netgear has to send all firmware updated to the isp then it goes threw a approval process and the isp makes some changes if needed and releases when they are ready to this is for call cable modem customer owned or rented.

      same situation with c3000. Netgear want just money for phone warranty and can't help you because they just provide firmware to twc not to final user. I understood is a firmware problem. Twc pushed a wrong update and now the modem is almost offline and can't get a new update to solve the problem. We can't do nothing manually and just wait. they told me to leave the modem on and hope for an update in firmware that could never came. It's frustrating and you need to pay for the service

        Most of the devices should be downgraded to old version now. Please let us know if you are still having an issue.
