I do it using an Ethernet connection from my PC. That is safer than relying an an automated process that might crash mid update, especially on a wifi connection.

Minor success! I updated the firmware- however my issue hasn't gone away. That would have been sweet if that would have fixed it. I will go thru the whole reboot sequence tomorrow and the cable company will be out on wednesday.
