Cm600 - firmware update
How do I update the firmware when an update is available? Talking to Comcast they are saying an upgrade to docsis 3.1 is coming at the end of the month.
Artemas: Firmware updates for cable modems are pushed out by the ISPs. Your modem will update the firmware when it is released by Comcast/TimeWarnerCable/Spectrum etc., who will get it from Netgear and release it throught their network to the compatible cable modems.
There is no firmware download for the consumer to update the CM600 themselves. Best advice is to contact your ISP and ask them to contact Netgear regarding the firmware update.
Dear Netgear,
I would also like to know about status of firmware update for CM600 cable modem. Specifically there is mention of security vulnerability which apparently has been fixed in a firmware update last December. I wonder when this firmware update will be released to the ISPs so they can push it out to the modems. I just spoke with my ISP, Time Warner Cable (TWC), and they say Netgear has not provided a firmware update yet. Identical topic from 5 months ago is discussed here. Can we have update on this?
For reference: current firmware versions released to ISPs is listed here.
Mongo-xbl: Firmware updates for cable modems are pushed out by the ISPs. Your modem will update the firmware when it is released by Comcast (who in turn will get it from Netgear).
Thanks,
