Do you guys have any suggestions for a 1gig ethernet modem that openwrt or ddwrt supports? Edit: Apparently the device that im looking for is called an access point not a modem

    I dont know how things work in the US but I dont understand how its possible for an ISP to control a device you own?

    if you are using the ISP’s modem, yeah they probably have an interface to control the device remotely and i understand that - but if you using your own modem, with a different firmware, how are they even gonna access it?

      I don’t know the details. My modem that I purchased exposes a management interface to the cable operator. I have a read-only view of the connection status and can’t change anything meaningful. In the US if you buy the modem you loan it the ISP for free while you’re a customer, as opposed to the ISP loaning you a modem for a monthly fee.
