Re: Cable modem query
Most likely it's for another modem - upgrades are broadcast and the appropriate modems install them.

Re: Cable modem query
Be careful of reading modem logs, because what happens when you reboot your modem is that every single update for that modem is received at the same time giving you those worrying logs.

My modem is a Motorola and if I look in my logs I will find some with the Date stamp of 1970 and we did not have broadband then.
