If everythings working to your satisfaction and your not looking to upgrade speed, then I'd leave it.
If you're needing more speed or a dual band router, then I'd look at updating.
I'm on an old Time Warner (Spectrum) plan with a speed of 50 mb, my router covers my small home via ethernet cable, and my streaming is via ROKU/wifi.

Remember, whichever cable modem you own, there is nothing that the maker can do to change its firmware. That is down to the ISP.
If your firmware is outdated, you cannot manually upgrade your cable modem’s or modem router’s firmware. You must contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to upgrade your firmware.
This is one reason why many users prefer having a separate standalone modem that they can use with a router of their choice.
Thanks, michaelkenward. I've got it!
I agree, and thanks for your comments.
