Is there a firmware update for my cable modem?
I have a Netgear CM1000v2 cable modem. I recently increased my network speed from my ISP to 1 GB, which this cable modem should be able to handle, however, it isn't delivering anywhere near that speed. I've contacted my ISP and they suggest that it might be the firmware version on my cable modem. I've connected to it and took a look at the firmware version. It is V10.01.07. I took a look at my modem, on the Netgear website, but it doesn't give me any information about the current firmware version. Does anyone here know if V10.01.07 is the last version of the firmware that Netgear made?Enable double NAT on C7000v2
I live in a building that gives me their router with their Internet connection. I can't change their router. Their router, of course, doesn't allow to perform any basic tasks like setting up static addresses. This is an issue for smart home devices that are supposed to have a static IP. I have a C7000v2. Is it possible to connect this router to the main router via Ethernet, and allow the Netgear to create its own network (totally separated from the main one)? I think this is called double NAT, is that correct? I know it's possible to set it up as an AP with a workaround, but I'd have to disable DHCP which defeats the main purpose of what I'm trying to do. I also know it's recommended not to have a double NAT, but I would keep connecting my own devices to the main network, so this wouldn't be an issue.CAX80 and Xfinity mid/high split (Next Generation)
Xfinity rolled out mid/high split ("Next Generation") in my area of CA, promising 100Mbps upload instead of 10-20Mbps depending on the plan. I understand that Netgear might not commit officially, but what are the odds CAX80 eventually supports mid/high split, and will that require both (1) Netgear-side firmware update (2) Xfinity-side 'modification' and push of that firmware update? Or is there something inherently missing in CAX80 hardware? For reference, Xfinity's official supported-device list only included (for Netgear) the CBR750 and CM3000 until 2/29/24, but on 3/14/24 they added the CM2500 too. https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2024.03.14%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdfNew - CAX30 Firmware Version 2.2.1.12 Released

Hi netgear devs, When will a ‘mid-split’ capable firmware for xfinity be released to xfinity? I’m in such an area and my upload speeds are capped at 25Mbps. I’m paying for 100Mbps. Just need a netgear cm1100 firmware to be provided to xfinity. I’ve been a loyal netgear owner for many years. I don’t want to buy a hitron (I’m budget conscious and won’t spend >$135). Thanks, Jeff
