Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

OIC, so, same as here. Germany seems to be having pretty well made laws in these cases.

Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

Except that it is a layer 2 bridge and I couldn't connect to the network directly, either way, because their line is copper ^[] and consumer routers/modems are usually RJ45/RJ11.

Mine is pretty expensive too (at least for me, it is). I just make sure not to fly without a rebuy.

Redundant power supply too!

Wait! Is the backup power supply compatible?

Sorry. I'm addicted to knowledge. I need to know.

you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP

Wait, do you mean, it's illegal to ask for it?
In my case, it just depends upon the ISP's policy.

In fact, with the current ISP, even though they provide their on modem (copper line), it has a pure bridge mode available, which I can connect to my other router and have fun looking at those packets with full transparency and the tech even went ahead and explained to me what I messed up, before resetting the modem for me, when I did use the bridge mode.

It was my first Dragon Age game and I liked it.
Made me interested in the older titles.

Read the title and went: What? They want you to keep your network hardware ON, when unattended, to increase the undetected malware entry opportunities?

Turns out it as their own devices they wanted to push updates to.

I would really prefer to use my own device though and even better, configure it myself after learning how the ISP's network works. But convenience is what it is.

I'll probably get one, once enough of its vulnerabilities are discovered and post-mitigation benchmarks are released.
And once I have enough money.

plugin/extension

that seems like the way to go for this

sugar-crash-wise

I meant the same thing. Spices are more than just taste.

And I seldom put sugar in my lemonade.

The rice seems to do the job
