Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?

See if your ISP can set their router to bridged mode, then you should be able to use your own while plugged into their equipment. It will turn all the functionality off on it so you won’t be doubled natted and traffic should flow properly.

Alternatively, if you are a bit tech savy, you could explore see if there is a DMZ setting, which should also allow you to use an alternative router with the ISP’s one.
Just a note to OP: a Faraday cage would block all WiFi signals from what I understand. If that’s the result you’re after, there should be a setting to cut off WiFi in the router, it’s pretty standard. This is for when you want to only use wired internet.
Also, if you want to prioritize your traffic over theirs, you couldloonk for a QoS setting (quality of service).
