Well all FW for Cable ISPs has a hand in wnat NG gives them so ISP may have there own modifications before pushing out to users modems.
One reason why I prefer modem only units then install a external wifi router. More control over what ISPs don't need to have. :smileywink:

Is that someting that comes from your ISP?
Wondering if this modem modem and your ISP have DNS locked in.

I guess so, it's what default settings go to. I never change anything but both WiFi name's and everything else is by default. And if I call spectrum about DNS server I'm sure they will be clueless and have no idea what I'm talking about. But I guess I'll try.
