MFW I first got my current router and went to set it up and couldn’t find the factory ID and password on it anywhere. Then realized it was on a damn app now. Which was bad enough, but after jumping through all the hoops, I discovered that (to no surprise really) what you can set up is very limited.
Sure I should buy my own router or flash an older one… but then again the last bad storm that fried the router this one replaced, the ISP replaced it at no charge. So… I live with it, I guess.
it would still the ISP router be the one that connects to the network outside the building, so chances are that if it comes again over tge network cable, it will still only fry the ISP router

Wouldn’t it be more sensible to invest in some surge protection, if that’s an issue where you are?
