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.
