Firmware Update

I have a Motorola branded SBG6580 Modem/Router that I've been using with my Cox internet for several years without any issues.  It currently has firmware version SBG6580-8.9.0.4-GA-02-141-NOSH

According to Cox the newer firmware version is SBG6580-3.5.8.4-GA-00-505-NOSH and that this is updated automatically. I tried to have Cox update the firmware but to no avail. What else can be done?

Perhaps log into your Cox account and send a reset command to your modem.  About all you can do for now.

Are you having a problem or just want the update?  What's in the update...security, efficiency, functionality?

I don't mean to reset your modem locally via its recessed button on the back but to send a reset command from the Cox headhead.  A network reset may update your firmware or may not.  Worth a try.

...and we've been saying for a long time to provide a reference.  It's not we don't believe you but sometime you're...well, never mind.

i've had issues in the past that weren't resolved with 1) powering unit down, 2)reset from calling 623-594-1000 but taken care of with signal sent by cs rep.
