Hi, I have a NVG578LX/NVG578HLX that my internet provider told me I can just throw away. As I hate how much e-waste we recently generate I have a question.
Is there a way to flash the software to something generic/open source to keep it working at least as an access point/router or anything useful 
?
Hello alantest
Sorry to let you know that NVG578LX/NVG578HLX is "Not Supported"" modem by Arris .
For further information please contact your ISP .
I found this NVG578 - Browse Files at SourceForge.net is this something official?
Hello
SourceForge.net is not affiliated with us. The NVG578LX/NVG578HLX is leased to subscribers by their Internet Service Provider and the provider flashes the firmware.
