Firmware upgrades for Arris modem are available at arris.com, but only cable operators can ingress them. The new software fixes bugs that were reported with the old firmware and can also provide improvements in speed. Once your Internet Service Provider has obtained an update, it will be impelled to your hardware when the device is not in operation.
I am not sure that Arris modem firmware update will work but you might try:
Step 1: Call your service provider from a different phone line than the one your modem is connected to, and ask if there is an Arris modem firmware update available.
Step 2: Ask them to push the update to your Arris modem.
Step 3: The next step would be disconnecting the cable from the Arris modem.
Step 4: You will notice a small button on the back of modem "factory reset".Press it.
Step 5: Now power off modem and power on without connecting cable.
Step 6: If you are done with the previous step , try to log into modem at 192.168.0.1.
Step 7: Wait for the modem to restart by itself and the update is complete.

Use a Third-Party Application:
Sometimes your service provider may not provide you with a notification of the available updates. So chances are you might miss these firmware or driver updates from time to time.
So for these reasons we recommend the users to use a third-party application. There are many such applications that automatically update all the devices connected to your PC.
