Is using the router and modem my cable company provided for my internet putting my privacy at risk? And if so, I have heard of openWRT routers but it seems like there’s quite a bit of a learning curve with that but even if I got one would I need a non cable company branded modem as well? Any specifically that anyone here would recommend?

    Comcast Business has this wonderful policy where you can’t have a static IP unless you use their modem.

      Comcast/Xfinity has been my least favorite ISP.

        My only choice unfortunately. The tech staff is nice but the sales staff and contracts are crappy.
