[WiFi] Re: Oh no, Moto! Cable modem has hardcoded 'technician' backdoor

yet another reason to avoid "all-in-one" gateways.... the more features you try to pack into a device, the more likely one of those features will have a flaw

Per the online documentation:

»www.arrisi.com/consumer/ ··· 5Jun.pdf

They have implemented TR-069 for remote management. Many DSL RGs are also so afflicted. Should be able to mitigate the issue by bridging the RG, and running your own router of choice.

I returned my Pace 4111N RG (ADSL2+ device) for that, and to get out of the monthly lease. Silly ISP just sent me an email offering to "upgrade" my modem. Back to that undesirable device.
