N450 (CG3000Dv2) Unable to set LAN speed/duplex manually

My N450 (CG3000Dv2) seems to automatically negotiate my LAN (Ethernet) speed to 10M full duplex. I'd like to set this to a higher speed manually (as in pages 70-72 of the manual). However, the interface for this, in the router configuration page (192.168.0.1), is disabled (greyed out). As in, the following picture.

 

 

If I manually go to the URL: http://192.168.0.1/RgSwitchPortControl.asp, then the interface is not greyed out but then my changes are not saved.

 

Thanks.

    The firmware from the ISP may of disabled these features.

      Yes, I suppose that is possible. Since I'm not longer connecting to an ISP and merely using my CG3000Dv2 as a LAN, where can I find firmware for which that feature has not been disabled?

        No firmware can be manually applied to cable modems they are all updated via the ISP.
