If alternatives to Comcast were available was something I have been willing to pay higher rent for in my life.

Possible that one was too new at the time but they claimed to support it was at the start of docsis 3.1 iirc as I had a similar issue with an older docsis 3.0 first
I tried... Comcast would "forget" the modem 3 times a month and would have to call and read them the MAC address again etc... fuck Comcast
My wallet did not need to find out about that dock but I have been considering one...
I've swapped the Main board and WiFi chip in a framework laptop. Swap the ports regularly. It can have a few quirks to get used to. It is wildly worthwhile to me now that Dell has decided nothing can be repaired anymore. Those who say they take care of their laptop likely do try and one should but it is survivorship bias imho. Accidents happen unintentionally that is why they are called accidents.
Spent over two decades repairing laptops... I'm unlikely to purchase anything but framework for years going forward. Now if we could just get the framework printer :P The upfront cost is high they are still a small manufacturer. The long term value is working out well for me.
I did have my own router and wifi at the time never wrapped theirs in foil tho... but I suppose why not... fear of overheating I suppose
