My service provider is xtream by Mediacom & I've reached out to update my modem/router combo; but was unable to because my ISP doesnt have the newest firmware. My current version is AR01.04. & the newest is AR01.05 which came out in NOV. 2023. Can a new firmware please be pushed out for the G34 & can Mediacom be put in the loop so i can update my firmware. Please.

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.
