Through a faraday cage? I mean, maybe… but have you checked if you can just turn the wifi functionality off on the ISP device? Most will let you do this and it would be way easier/cleaner.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but I reached that breaking point where you’re just annoyed enough to start looking how to fix the annoyance, and it’s a Saturday when the isp office is closed. I’ll probably just call them Monday morning and see if the suggestions from other replies will do the trick
The intent was to only faraday cage the isp router, not my own
Lol yeeesssss. It's not exactly the healthiest mentality in my opinion... But I 100% sympathize with you here. "I have energy and opportunity today to fix a thing so let's do whatever I can do today to solve it." Unfortunately, that does lead to some "creative" solutions like a Faraday cage around your modem (ahahaha 😂). But it sometimes you just any solution!
Let it be known that I have provided your 2nd upvote.
All the ISP's here allow what's called *verified l bridged mode", where their device just passes the connection on to your own router/firewall. I do this because the ISP's devices generally suck in terms of quality for anything but passing on traffic, and use my own firewall+router.
You can get devices which run OpenWRT and should be able to manage the connections decently without costing too much
