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.

Mongo-xbl That is B.S. from Comcast you are getting. The CM600 is powered by the Broadcom BCM3384 chip, which does not support DOCSIS 3.1. The Netgear CM1000 has been under testing by some ISP's is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem.
