Nighthawk model c7100v does not handle gb speeds ?
Was told by Comcast that this router doesn't handle gigabit speeds without a firmware upgrade to docsis 3.1. Anyone know if the latest firmware makes this possible ?

There's no "upgrade the C7100v firmware" to docsis 3.1.
Docsis 3.1 is a harware change and not a firmware change.
You can buy a device with Docsis 3.1 capabilities like the C7800 that supports gigabit and has integrated router.
