Why would you use your ISPs router? Mine is set to modem mode an do have my own router which is far better quality and also totally under my control security wise.

Because most of the time they don’t let you, or make it super difficult to set up

Additionally, most end users aren’t tech savvy and just use whatever was given by the ISP
