C3700 Firmware Update
I have a C3700-100NAS N600 Cable Modem with firmware version V1.01.11. I can not establish a PTPP VPN connection to my office. It appears that there is a newer firmware version (2.02.08) that suppo...
WOW is my ISP. The statement from Netgear site is NOT TRUE regarding this ISP. The WOW corporation states it operates an 'OPEN' system and would not interferre with any modem manufacture firmware update(s) The notion that ISP'sd need to 'approve' the firmware before it is 'PUSHED' to the device is INcorrect. WOW assured me this issue is SOLELY Netgear's.
So, someone's gonna get caught in a lie (or fraud).
Thanks
do you have anything in writing from WOW and any contact information.
I believe every modem sold in Retail market is upgraded by the ISPs directly.
Can WoW point to any modem out there is market which is upgraded by the vendor directly?
NTGR can provide FW to WoW if they are willing to push to their customers.
If you mean VOICE COMMUNICATION and Internet web pages -- HELL YES. Search it yourself. CALL WOW yourself!. Don't believe me? Google it.... Go to NETREAR'S SITE and simply 'SEARCH' for 'latest version' then go further.... community posts by NETGEAR site reps.
WOW!

Funny, it has been my experience that EVERY modem manufacturer but Netgear supplies firmware updates directly. When they stop supplying updates, the product is considered 'no longer supported'. NETGEAR products are 'no longer supported' as soon as you open the box.
I went to the list of firmware versions at:
and it said that on Comcast, I should be at 2.02.16. So in the Genie software, I went to the update firmware section and told it to update the firmware. Much to my surprise, Comcast pushed the latest version down to my modem/router.
>>Funny, it has been my experience that EVERY modem manufacturer but Netgear supplies firmware updates directly.
can you please please to point to one vendor who is supplying FWs directly for their Cable devices?

NOPE, seems 'MUM'S the word. No one I've contacted wants to fix it
That is the exact problem - you can't update FW if the file isn't available! NETGEAR doesn't make it available to me (only to WOW) -- and WOW says they've never 'pushed' any FW (because they have an open system and don't stand in the way of NEGEAR doing it itself.
NETGEAR SAYS IT DOES SEND UPDATES TO ISP's. Then, Why does NETGEAR genie have the FW update feature in its program - YET can NEVER find it when it searches?/!
