They might be trying to say that they have approved us to use that version, but we do not currently offer that version on our cable plant
Thanks again for the info. If in fact version 3.xxx has been approved that is quite a jump up from the old version. I think this modem/ router is at least a half dozen years old and obviously the firmware has never been flashed. Do you suppose you can elevate this question and or ask around why if a later version may have been approved we are still stuck on 6 year old firmware. Thank you.

Prior to releasing new firmware for third-party equipment, Cox has to adequately test the features to ensure that there are no bugs, performance issues, and that it meets the safety and security requirements. -Kevin M.

OK. Thanks. But by my calculations the firmware has not been upgraded in excess of 6 years. The firmware versions have gone from V2.05.18 all the way up to Cox (Approved Firmware) V3.01.09 according to the Netgear website:
Kindly advise. Thank you.

not really they can number them whatever they want it might even just be built after the version you are on now

Copy that. So I guess the bottom line is are you able to find out if this 6 year old combo modem router is due anytime soon for a firmware update or should I just forget about it and don't fix what's not broke. The main reason I am curious is if a firmware upgrade would provide enhancements to my Internet experience (speed perhaps) without enduring the cost of purchasing newer equipment. Thank you.
