Thank you so much for the explanation, I updated the post

whats the difference?

thats actually great thank you much!

I dont know how things work in the US but I dont understand how its possible for an ISP to control a device you own?

if you are using the ISP’s modem, yeah they probably have an interface to control the device remotely and i understand that - but if you using your own modem, with a different firmware, how are they even gonna access it?

My ISP provides fiber connection. I want a device that can provide 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi and 1Gig ethernet.
