I recently changed my internet provider because the building’s management restricted fiber installation and my speed was becoming very slow. Initially everything functioned well and my connection improved significantly. A few hours after setup I realized I couldn’t reach the router’s web page, tried all known IP addresses and ran a network scan with nmap, but nothing resolved the issue. I looked into my router model and the new ISP’s policies and discovered they blocked direct access to the web interface due to unauthorized changes made by users unfamiliar with the process. As a result, the only option now is to contact my ISP for assistance. My router is a Fiberhome AN5506-01—can I adjust its settings or access the web interface without involving them?

They may have attempted to bypass their own security measures, which could invalidate your service contract and possibly violate laws. The only support available is verifying the IP address of your default gateway. This often includes the web interface for home routers, though you’ll need login details.

They don't require a call. Accessing the web interface needs direct interaction.

Not always, especially if you ignore your agreement. Spectrum offers comparable options in business environments. Unfortunately, the methods for securing them are quite limited and can be easily bypassed. Edit: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/137814...=30#manual
