Netgear Nighthawk C7800 - Any Firmware updates? Cox ISP says they have no firmware they can push.
Are there any updates to the firmware at all? I contacted my ISP and they said there are none on their end, but... Perhaps there's something with Netgear personally that I can get? I went to the C...

ISP's rarely update firmware. Netgear sends them the firmware but it costs them $ to certify it. so they don't.
And you've found the sad circle of "its their fault" that you go through with ISPs and manufacturers.
Its why we usually recommend buying the modem sperate from the router.
What issue are you having you think a firmware update might help with?

I checked almost every other aspect- but every computer in the house is getting dropped specifically from a "Call to Arms" event in Red Dead Online.
Tried opening ports, tried enabling/disabling UPNP, tried adjusting firewall settings, etc... Nothing seems to cure this issue on all the computers. :(
Trying to cut out as many of the potential problems as possible before we all just abandon the idea of playing Red Dead Online lol
