Good god no.

Getting my own modem and using my own router was the only way I could:

  1. Get a non CG-NAT IPv4 address
  2. Set up port forwarding for my ipv4 stack
  3. set up firewall rules for my ipv6 stack
  4. Use a non trash tier wireless access point.

The box they gave me had no configuration options outside of renaming the SSID and was only able to do dual stack light. Ridiculous.

You guys are lucky, my ISP's router is not even accessible without their app (yes no local connection, just over the internet).

That’s TERRIBLE. Can you get your own modem / router at least?

[–] akrot 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I got another router to setup a subnet at least, and disable the wireless capabilities of my ISP's router.
