SBG6700-AC (v8.6.x): Locating the Software Version

Where can I find the software version in my SBG6700-AC Gateway?

The software (also known as firmware) version of the SBG6700-AC is located on its configuration page.  Some features may vary depending on the software version the SBG6700-AC has.  The SBG6700-AC does not support manual software upgrades.  Any firmware or software changes must be implemented via the cable network.  The cable provider can update the firmware based on what they have approved for their network distribution.  This document describes how to locate the software version.
