My previous router was dropping my phone and after talking with a friend who’s a network administrator for a hospital he recommended buying a modem/router combo because we both have spectrum internet and the same thing was happening to him. Problem solved and no issues so far after two months.
I’ve only had this modem about a month but so far, so good. We haven’t had any connection issues from the modem itself so I’m pretty pleased with it. It’s the first one I’ve ever purchased myself and it’s doing it’s job well.
Netgear is sticking to its untenable policy of not allowing firmware updates to this privately owned device. I want to be as secure as I possibly can in this era. By not allowing this they may be leaving all of us who rely on this device open to hackers. Please rethink this policy.

Hi Oragnz,
You cable modem firmware is updated by your service provider. NETGEAR provides a version of the firmware to them so that they can make adjustments to the firmware to work with their service. If you need to update your firmware you need to contact your service provider.
