Do you have to use their modems? I have been on ATT, charter, and now
spectrum (all same thing just diff business bought them out), and I've
been using my own model for years now, and I don't have to pay a
monthly fee. I just called and gave them my info from the modem and
off I went. It's a stand alone modem and I have a linksys router
behind it.
At one time, I also had a home telephone that used a modem/router setup
as well. I just told them to turn off the WIFI and/or modem part as I
didn't need it, and they only left on what was needed for the phone and
that was it.
Not sure if helps but hopefully gives you an idea,

It looks like I do need theirs according to all the Googling I've done.
The router is integral to the modem, the modem and supplies power to the
k-bans radio equipment at the dish, 12.0 volts, 3.75 amps per the
markings on the bottom, that has to be fed through the coax to the
antenna, it takes a little transmit power to cover 23,000 miles.
According to everything I've found it should work with their modem
feeding mine but I can't seem to get it working with the reworked modem
I am using so I ordered a new one which should be here tomorrow and
intend to try that. I hesitate to reset mine to restore the original
firmware.
In the mean time the system does work well enough to use as it is, I
just don't know what is using all the data, it's already over 100% and
climbing. They may limit the speed depending on the demands on their
system, otherwise I see no difference, but it is worrisome and until now
I've been controlling usage for 13 gears, can't do that today.
