Why no firmware updates for C7800 Nighthawk
Netgear website says no firmware available for C7800 (AC3200) Nighthawk cable modem/router. Why not? Thanks.
I am in Las Vegas & even though Netgear's firmware page lists Cox's approved firmware as V3.01.36 they sent V3.01.38 out a while back. The firmware page is not accurate.
One way to check out concerns about security issues is to read the advisories that Netgear puts out when new ones crop up. For example, here is the latest:
Security Advisory for VPNFilter Malware on Some NETGEAR Devices | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Like many earlier advisories, this lists the devices that it has tested and deemed to be vulnerable.
Mine was at V3.01.36 for over a year. It looks like they finally pushed V3.01.38 to mine either last night or today. I had done a factory reset yesterday due to an unrelated issue and noticed today that it had been updated. No idea if it was just a coincidence or not however. May be worth a shot if you dont have dozens of reserved IP addresses to reenter or other reasons not to try it.
Well spotted that person.
