Standard procedure here is to ignore the device's onboard wifi and plug in your own access point. Don't tell them, or they may whine about it being unsupported.
You don't have to use the integrated access point just because it's there.

I have wasted so many hours on the phone with their support without getting anywhere. They wouldnt even acknowledge there is a problem until I showed them graphs. Then they sent an "engineer" over who also knew fuck all and accomplished nothing. He then seemed to have reported back there was nothing wrong and now they ignore me.
I should switch ISPs but the performance of the network compared to the price is excellent. Just this shitbox of a router.
Now I'm wondering why, whether it's legislation or the way our ISPs relate to the infrastructure.
This is mainly because those networks are deployed by adding an second SSID to the router with WPA enterprise auth. The solution many people choose is putting the router in the basement with a lot of aluminium foil around it.
This is why we can't have nice things. I hope they find a way to defeat people doing this, but my guess is it would be prohibitively expensive (war driving entire cities, etc).
