Presumably so you’ll be forced to use their DNS, which lets them know what sites you go to. So thanks for that Shaw.

    I also did this, I feel it’s better this way. Also the modem restricted me in so many ways. Now my cheap router gives me far more freedom and control. Forwarding ports, no problem. DNS change, no problem. Other SSID, no problem. A separate isolated SSID for visits, absolutely. And if a I change ISP I only have to connect the new modem and no need to change any of my devices.
