Does anyone know if this enables any kind of tracking (either through WiFi device logging or network activity)? I’ve typically used my own networking modems and routers, I’m a little weary of a required smart device that I don’t have control over.

So far I haven’t been able to find much information beyond what’s available from century-link

    Yea, that’s what I expected. Apparently this particular service requires their special modem

      What I was trying to say is that you shouldn’t need their special modem. They gave me that same modem, and it’s sitting on a shelf un-plugged in. I’m only using my own equipment.

        It honestly looks like that’s not possible, but I guess I believe you… I’m not sure what kind of consumer modem takes a SC/APC cable…

          In my instance, that fiber cable terminates outside of my house. I didn’t realize CenturyLink ever routed fiber inside the house.

            I have CL fiber (which is now Quantum Fiber) and the fiber line terminates in my ONT in my network/utility room.
