The unit may have been first released a while ago: but USB drives greater than 2 TB certainly existed then.

On modem/router combo devices, its on the ISP to push the update to them. Netgear might have updates and submit them to the ISP but the ISP certifies them and sends them out. If they don't send them out, Netgear can't force them to. The ISP's not actually updating devices when there's updates available is why we don't usually recommend modem/router combo devices.
