My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.

They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

Buy another router to stick in between your ISP device and the rest of your network. You won't notice.

Can't you just replace the ISP router?

Depends on the ISP. Many don’t allow you to use one they didn’t provide.

Maybe, if it's a fiber router it handles some authentication maybe?

And, if you do, either put the ISP router in bridge mode OR give your router a static IP then put that IP in the ISP router’s DMZ.
