Spectrum around here tries to mandate that you use their combo modem/router, it was a legit PITA to get them to accept the modem their website said was supported, because god forbid they don't get that extra $10/mo or whatever.
Frontier fiber gave us an Amazon Eero, which I promptly gave to a friend, and installed my Ubiquiti gear.
I messed with the spectrum router my parents got a few months ago and that thing made me so mad. They intentionally locked the gui so that you had to call them to make any real changes. You even had to download their app to change the SSID and password. I wanted to throw it in the garbage so bad.
THANK YOU. On my own fucking gear, I should be able to type in 192.168.1.1, admin, password, and at least work the basics myself. But spectrum thinks not so much, and for that, they can go fuck themselves.
I know I could've bridge the router to my own and subnetted around it, but for real? They can gobble a crate of dicks.
