Firmware for combo devices have to come from an ISP. There's no way to manually update them. Even though they don't provide the combo device, when they paritition it (provided its compatible with their service), it'll update the device to THEIR most recent firmware.

here's the disclaimer that the ISP can contact Netgear for most recent firmware for that device but the update has to come from ISP. 

 

If your ISP is not listed in the tables above, or if your device's firmware is not up to date, advise your ISP to contact our sales engineering team using the contact form available at http://www.netgear.com/service-providers/contact-us/CableMSO.aspx. Netgear will provide your ISP with the latest firmware.
