C7000v2 V1.03.02 but Netgear says V1.03.08 is most up to date driver
the driver installed on my Netgear C7000v2 is V1.03.01 but your website says the most recent is V1.03.08. How can I get the most recent installed no option on the C7000v2.?

That's not one of the Cell Service Mobile Hotspot Modems, AirCards, & Mobile Routers devices covered in this section.
For help with that device try here:
Cable Modems & Gateways - NETGEAR Communities
But in this case, don't waste your time.

You have no control over the firmware on your cable modem/router.
It is down to your ISP to supply you with firmware. They rarely do.
Like michaelkenward says, the firmware on combo devices are ISP driven. And if you look at the charts, different ISPs have different "latest" firmware versions. They don't all certify newer versions.
If you want to ensure you have the latest versions of firmware, pick up a router-only device and put the c7000 in modem-only mode. You still won't be able to control the firmware on the C7000, but the router you will.
That's one of the key reasons we don't recommend combo devices on here.

Newer modem/router combos come with a router section with firmware that you can update.
But I still wouldn't recommend them. If nothing else, they don't offer the variety of features that you can choose with standalone routers.
- I am looking to install a mesh system so I will be replacing modem/router soon, any suggestions? We have the worst ISP used to be called Suddenlink
- At the moment I am loosing internet half a dozen times a day for about three mins each time. I do play VR and use Zoom so annoying
