I saw two questions on this topic and the response was that the latest firmware is pushed out to the internet service provider. But my situation is I chose not to use any router from the service provider and purchased this on my own. So I would have thought I should be able to update the firmware on my own as well (as and when there is a firmware update).

The SBG7600AC2 is both cable modem and router. DOCSIS standards dictate that the service provider must distribute firmware updates to cable modem devices. The end-user cannot simply install an update like most other network-enabled devices.
ARRIS develops the software update and makes it available to service providers. The service providers qualify, test, and distribute the software update to devices on their network. ARRIS has limited control or visibility on distribution by the service providers.
