You absolutely must secure your home router and you probably can't

Perhaps I just got stuck on the level 1 idiot perimeter; but when I asked Verizon about 'how about we just skip the MoCA nonsense and let me plug my router into the ethernet jack we both know the ONT has?" I got a response somewhere between the one reserved for people who leak state secrets and people who plan their audacious acts of necrophilia in public.

I’m not sure if knowing something about the CPE junction equipment or not wanting an atrocious cable box was considered more transgressive.
