If you can't avoid it and you don't trust it, you could probably turn off its wifi and then connect to it only through your own router+VPN.
Thanks.
It also apparently has a BLE antenna in it for some reason, i'm a little worried about what that's doing there. But the alternative is Xfinity so i'm still considering it....
Not that I need it but according to the sales guy they just installed 8Gbit service in my neighborhood, and I hadn't even heard of anything that fast for residential service. It's like $165 a month though
