Netgear Wireless Data Cable Gateway firmware update

Netgear CG4500BD Current firmware is 1.03.03. The gui is ancient looks like it is from 2003. I want to update firmware to modern gui genie. Problem is I bought this modem from amazon and not from cox. Cox is only one that provides firmare update but I am not cox user, I have optimun. So how can I update firmware is there a zip file I could have so I can do it maually?

      Hello techfreak8

       

      All firmware on cable modems come from the ISP you are connected to no way to manually update the firmware.
