You can request Spectrum turn off the built in WiFi and sometimes they will be nice and disable dhcp. the secondary modem pretty much works in bridge mode. Several of our clients are using the gigabit speed Spectrum and we have our router/firewall behind that. I do not know exactly what the ISP's router is doing in this equation but it in no way interferes with me and everything on my side is identical to have a regular bridged connection. In the case of my customer, my static IP's, port forwarding, etc., is configured on my router. Settings on the router for setting up our NAT to tell which static IPs Everything acts like a plain bridged connection.I thought OP said that was not the case.Īlso, they are the only ones who can actually get into a lot of the You just put your router of choice behind their equipment and configure it as you see fit. Our accounts are also local government, so that may also make a difference. They installed for us a plain old modem and two set top boxes. Just a couple of months ago I had a new service installed with Internet with 8 static IP's and two TV's. We aren't even allowed to use our own modem. I asked if they offered another service that would let us use a normal modem and no provided router/wap, they said that with anything about 200mbps this is the only setup they offer. They won't do a modem only when your speed is above a certain level and using a static IP. In the case of my customer, no wifi was requested nor given - it's disabled by them.

You can install your own WAP's inside your network yourself.ĭid you order the service, or did someone else do it? I've ran into that issue where non-IT folks try to be helpful and THEY order service without consulting IT. You ONLY want them to give you a modem, no WAP. Sounds like you have a package from them that also gives you WiFi. I've setup several Charter Business internet connections with multiple static IP's, and I've never dealt with that.
