If you live in/know about Germany, could you suggest a good alternative to the Kabel Deutschland basic CBN router? I have no clue how the registration to the network would work if I buy a third party router connected directly to my cable input.

You can register the modem via a web portal during the first connection. After a few days you get the activation code via snail mail. But third party cable modems are expensive in Germany. You can also use the provided modem in bridge mode and use a better router behind hit.
That works with KD? Fking unitymedia removed bridge mode from their firmware. :(
I recommend the bridge mode + a better router solution.
We got a DSL login per email a few weeks before the connection became active. Went to the router's admin panel and filled them in under "Internet connection". Once the link came up, Internet worked.
