Okay cool but....

I'm still just plugging these supposedly awesome routers into bargain bin, un-updated, garbage quality, broken, insecure, spying cable modems provided by or "compatible with/verified for" my internet service.

So what if my router is secured? My connection is still beholden to whatever garbage software written in 2008 my damn DOCSIS 3.0 compliant box has, with all the unfixed bugs and performance issues that entails.

Are there any cable modem/routers that can be customized? Have openWRT or similar installed? Or are otherwise pretty good?
