Unfortunately, that's not possible with this device, per:

	What is the latest firmware version of my NETGEAR cable modem or modem router?
	https://kb.netgear.com/000036375/What-s-the-latest-firmware-version-of-my-NETGEAR-cable-modem-or-modem-router

Quoting:

	"You cannot manually update your NETGEAR cable modem or modem
	router's firmware."

I don't actually know whether the firmware is in or out-of-date because (see
previous messages) I can't get into the device to ask it.  As to whether
the device is partially broken, I don't know: it certainly seems to be,
although clearly the OS and internal web server are running.
