But, my previous provider's modem (which is still connected) gives me 6 panels and 36 subpanels of info and controls. Most of that I don't use or care about. but some I do care about:

- ability to turn on/off DHCP, and the IPs that it assigns, so nobody who breaks in can guess my LAN IPs
- firewall, so I can cut off kinds of access I want to keep out
- ability to disable wifi, so only the ethernet cable connections are usable and nobody can hack in from outside my apt
- ability to ping and traceroute, for testing
- system & security log for the modem
- save settings in a file
I get it that you don’t want people to tinker around and break stuff, but you do have a Reset button on the back in case we screw up too badly.
