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.?
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
Suggestions?
We'd need a little more data.
What size is your home?
How many devices are you supporting and what are you using them for?
What speeds do you pay for?
What's your budget (key as its pointless to recommend the RBKE963 if it isn't in budget )
My only suggestion is that I'm a fan of the triband band mesh systems. They have a dedicated backhaul so they have higher speeds and lower latencies than the dual band systems. They're faster and a bit more stable (IMO).
- Thanks for the reply house is one level 3700 sq ft. Sits on one acre. Have a pool and deck in back yard and need to get WiFi out there. Maybe 30 feet from back door. We have a bunch of devices, Alexa’s, laptops, iPads, cell phones. There are two of us living in the house.

Wireless Routers for Home | NETGEAR
Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.
I plugged in my needs in the filter and it came up with "Not currently available to purchase on NETGEAR.com"
