AT&T ZTE MF279 firmware update

I have a ZTE MF279 wireless Home Internet Modem/Router from AT&T. It has been problematic for a while and I recently discovered that I can't update to the v 1.11 firmware because I'm running the v1.7 firmware which has a bug that doesn't allow you to update. Does anyone know if there is a manual...
