Hi SM,

This issue of no longer having access to the FTTH router has been causing
me numerous issues for quite some time. I am unable to do static MAC-IP
mappings for some devices on my network such as printer, wifi repeater,
Smart TV etc. I could also do other things such as change my SSID or add
different SSIDs with open access for guests when I had major family events
at home. I recall when I had access to my router, I had 9.9.9.9 configured
as primary DNS on the router because Quad 9 provides DNS-level security
that protects the users of my network against malicious websites. Quad 9
suffered an outage a few months ago and could not be reached. I could not
remove 9.9.9.9 from the configuration as I no longer had access to the
router and had to wait for the primary DNS request to timeout to fallback
to the secondary one. I have not yet been convinced why a subscriber should
not have access to a device installed in their residence.
