No firmware download for C6250down
I have a Netgear C6250 router. IOS Nighthawk app says my firmware is out of date,but there is no firmware update
available on the app or online.
We are a cable modem customer (Spectrum)
Can I not manually update firmware in this situation?....or???...

No.
For the benefit for others who turn up with the same question, here's the answer.
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.

I have a Netgear c6250 cable modem router that is running firmware version 1.01.26,which is supposedly the latest version. However,the Nighthawk app says my firmware is out-of -date.
My ISP is Spectrum...not sure what to make of this...
