    No.

     

    For the benefit for others who turn up with the same question, here's the answer.

     

    What is the latest firmware version of my NETGEAR cable modem or modem router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

     

     

    You cannot manually update your NETGEAR cable modem or modem router’s firmware, unless you have a CAX-series cable modem router or CBR-series cable Orbi router. CAX-series and CBR-series cable modem routers use separate router firmware and cable firmware.
