ISP's are great at messing up the firmware information. the firmware is sent when they provision the modem. So rarely does it get updated because anytime its updated, the ISP has to recertify it which costs them $. so we rarely see combo devices get updated.
You can check what version the isp should be on (not always correct either)

when you start getting above that 2200-2500sqft, I usually start steering people to mesh systems.
they don't have the peak speed of the flagship routers but do tend to have higher consistent speeds throughout the home.
And I'm a fan of the triband mesh systems and not dual band.
If you're looking for single router soluctions, the R7800 is what I'd recommend for the AC routers.
In terms of AX, I'm a bit torn as I've only used a few so not sure what I'd actually recommend in terms of stability/rock solid device.
