I just got fiber finally and the provided router is weird, I can see ip settings, etc. but I can't change my local subnet or much of anything besides wireless contact info. Apparently I'm supposed to be able to do it via my providers website which I really don't like the thought of so I'll be replacing it with something else soonest. Fortunately our head network engineer guy lives about a mile from me and is on the same service, so he's already figured out what equipment is compatible. Knowing me I'm just gonna go grab an old machine from the garage and a Linux disk.. or maybe I'll play with BSD some.
Our ISP said we could have one of their routers, but suggested I buy my own with our setup here. They also know how I make my living and were more comfortable if I had my own instead of the janky consumer setup they have that works for 90% of their customers.
