netgear n600 c3700 firmware v. 1.01.11
I am needing the latest version of firmware as my modem/router is very slow and losing packets. I have ran speed test when I first got it 8 months ago and I check my speeds every week the past week they dropped drasticly. I got on your site was told the firmware had to be pushed by the isp. I contacted them they got on your site and here is a copy of the reply.

Paul,
Unfortunately we are not able to push firmware updates to modems. After looking into the model of modem you have a bit I was able to find that you have a modem/router combo. Even though we cannot push a firmware update to the modem you should be able to log into the router page and do firmware updates from there. To access the router GUI online you will first need to open up internet explorer or whatever web browser that you use, from there you will want to type in either http://192.168.0.1 or http://routerlogin.net into the url and hit “Enter†on your keyboard. You should be presented with a login page that will ask you for a username and password. By default the username is admin and the password is password. Once logged into your router you should have the option to update your routers firmware. You may be able to find more helpful information on this page https://kb.netgear.com/24580/C3000-C3700-FAQs if you need help doing this you could always bring your modem and router in and out of courtesy we could have a look at it for you.
Thank You,

I took it to them they said I needed to contact NETGEAR. So, are you going to say again it is the isp problem. And can we get this resolved.
thank you for posting the email.
We are surprised that Spectrum (AKA TimeWarner, AKA Charter) is spreading such mis-information. This case has been escalated to Spectrum's management and we will let them deal with it.
Spectrum is extremely difficult to communicate with and they are "extremely" slow when it comes to FW upgrades even though NETGEAR pays them thousands of dollars in FW certification fees practically every month. I am sure other vendors have same problem with Spectrum. if you were on Comcast Xfintiy's network, you get FW upgrades pretty much 2-3 weeks within FW certification period (it could be much faster in some cases as well).
It is very unfortunate you have to live with spectrum. NTGR will attempt to reach out spectrum again to get confirmation but we are not sure if spectrum's response will be favourable.
