There are a lot of these ISP specific routers available and they don't always work as expected. Happily, I was able to update this with the retail firmware and add it as a node to my home network. It looked brand new when I opened it and is inconspicuous on a shelf in the kitchen. I like these because they don't have all the antennae sticking out. Great low-cost way to extend my network.
This is a great rodict which was easy to add to my current mesh system and has important my wifi connection and extended around my house. 5 stars thank you.
