I just cleaned my log, does anyone though know what does this mean? It does this sort of "download" almost when it feels like it! Noticed sometimes daily other times every other day based on logs.

I've been seeing that also. I have a feeling it is probably stuff that Verizon is d/ling to us thru the modem. No idea what this stuff is though.

I'll take a guess that you are running the most current firmware? If so, it seems to keep the firmware updated.

Yup, yup! I think that is what it is. It keeps the modems firmware updated. Thing is I would not want to upgrade it. Unless some security issue was discovered. It works why upgrade it? The auto update can brick the device errors happen.

P.S: The above was just some humour on the upload.

P.P.S:

It just did it again:
