Re: Just got a new firmware on my SBG6580! I have received this update in Cleveland. What does it offer? Anything to get excited about? I can tell you this much, the idea of IP6 does nothing to excite my emotions. In fact I think I dread it! At least you could easily remember IP4 numbering! |

In almost all cases firmware upgrades don't "Offer" anything. It patches issues the modem might have with certain pieces of equipment and may address security concerns.

In addition to streamlined bridged mode, I can see this update also enables you to selectively disable the various NAT ALGs (protocol snooping) ... even FTP! I'm hoping they've either fixed the performance bugs I had with the last version, or that by disabling everything I don't need, I won't run into them. I'll know in a few days!

I live in Akron and just got mine too.
I assume TWC upgraded their SBG6580 firmware last night around 1:30 A.M. That's when my cable box rebooted with the new GUI interface.
I have a question for those in the know here. I see a new menu on the web interface after firmware upgrade. Does anyone know what these mean by chance? (See image attached.) |

That's wild, I'm over on the east side and I still don't have this yet. I wonder if it gets rolled out by CM MAC address, and maybe mine is "further down the list"... |
