firmware updates
Are firmware updates to the modem done automatically? I have a Cisco DPC3941T provided by Xfinity. Recent articles have stated that software updates need to be done to maintain security. Should this modem be updated or upgraded to one of the new gateway modems?

Yes. It's automatic. The ISP is responsible for updating the firmware.

Cisco's website shows that modem is no longer updated and it's essentially obsolete. (since 2017..or maybe 2019, depending on sources)
I just got mine in 2021! So it was Cisco-obsolete by 2 or 3 maybe 4 years when they assigned it to me ~ even though it seemed unopened & new?!
