CM600 error counts still zero after three days.
I've had a CM600 on-line for 3 days and the downstream error counts are still zero. Is this a firmware issue or a hardware fault or did my line become amazingly error free for the last few days?
Arris modems model 6121,6141.6183,6190 have all had new firmware twice in the last year. As of right now there are no security issues with the mentioned Arris modems what so ever. The same can not be said for Netgear. From what i have been told by comcast insiders is Netgear has not even submitted a new firmware at least for the CM-600. So that means if Netgear submitted today it could still take a month or longer before cocmast even strats a soak for it let alone the mass release. Not good folks..

Except of course as you note later updates depend on the operators. So there are outstanding issues "what so ever".
However the proof of concept for the kind "security" problem noted in the Netgear posting requires social engineering to work. Most devices that require a login like the CM600 or the SB-6190 are not subject the HTML attacks against devices that don't require a login. In the alert I saw Netgear did not provide enough information to include devices that come with a changeable password in the alert. Was there another?
