Please integrate an automatic firmware update feature for routeres that are focused on consumers. A lot of users still don't care about security. If this would be done automaticly it would increase the overall security of your customers home networks.
Also an Antivirus / package filter integration on network level to proctect IoT devices would be nice to see in the near future.

Done for most routers. Others will get firmware update to turn this feature on in short time.
Victor008 unlikley - as the authority for updating firmware on cable modems and routers is with the ISP.
Don't know if the list of applicable devices is current - here the KB entry on How do I enable/disable auto firmware update?Indeed.
If your firmware is outdated, you cannot manually upgrade your cable modem’s or modem router’s firmware.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.
Thank you!
