I moved recently and let my ex keep my network gear and went with the default Spectrum cable modem and WiFi access point.
The new modems not have user-facing access pages to check connection status and signal levels. Additionally the bundled WiFi access point let you change everything you want except for the DNS settings your routers local DHCP pushes out.
They are actively forcing users to use their DNS unless you buy your own equipment. Its too bad because its actually a pretty decent WiFi router (1+ Gbps AC, 4 gigabit ports, no crashes with excessive usage, etc)
- chopin 7y agoPut your own router behind it if you can't configure it fully. That's what I've done when my ISP wouldn't let me.
