Hi, just had my router swapped out from an Arris due to faulty behaviour and was upgraded to a Sagemcom F@ST 3896 router. Was able to login but i noticed something strange,all settings have been locked behind an app. I find this as very strange because you should be able to directly configure the router using a computer. Now I'm at a loss because there is literally no information for this router readily available and the ISP was contacted I was informed that those are the new routers being issued. Is there anyway to bypass this whole app thing, because the app isnt even available in my country and IMO its stupid that you cannot configure a router with a computer
