c7000v2 Absurd Product
This product does not allow the user to install new firmware and Spectrum will not perform this task. The solution to this problem is NEVER buy another Netgear product. Ignore the other "solutions"...

Why does Netgear produce a product that cannot be updated and sold without a marketing disclosure: "Please note that this product cannot be updated by your ISP nor you, the purchaser, therefore, this product may begin to fail within one year of purchase and be obsolete and unusable soon thereafter."

Why don't they all do that? Again, this isn't limited to netgear. This is a system wide issue.
Also, because its marketing/sales.
