Rain 101

Hi all,

This is my first month on the Rain 101 package, i'm not here to bash the service, onboarding was great, speeds tops..

But we need to talk about this 101 Router, why Rain even calls this little decoration even a router i dont know

1. Only one network port
2. No IP/MAC reservation
3. Cannot setup home ip range
4. All my Sonoff DW2 Wifi Door/Windows sensor dont connect on the wifi i suspect its the SSID mode, no access to make such changes

So i decided to resort to using my old router with their SIM, since my router supports SIM, no cannot do that it uses a eSIM

Only option i have right now next to cancelling this service is putting my old router behind this decoration in bridge mode and keep all my config/SSIDS and reservations in my old router,

But to go through all of this ...yhooo, no man,
