Doesn't matter if you own it or not. the only firmware changes on those devices are by the ISP because its part of the provisioning. Or users would be able to set whatever speed tier they want by changing the firmware.
Is there any way I can update it via CLI or in other ways, since the "firmware update" button doesn't exist in the router utility?----No. End users can't change the firmware on that device.
