this modem is atrocious not, horrible signal, ive seen a better between darth vader and skywalker.i feel violated

When using the Web Interface make sure to create config backups before and after every change, stupid stuff such as using any capital letters in a MAC address will cause the Web UI to break requiring a reset.
