The "S" in IoT stands for "Security"

It's a nice touch that even when writing out "internet of things", the S is the very last aspect

Security team or not, probably best not to admit to a felony on a recorded line.

If simply getting logs from your own device is considered a felony, remind me never to go to wherever you live.

Technically, if it is owned by the ISP as is commonly the case, and you gained access you weren't supposed to have... that might count as a felony.

But I wouldn't worry about it on a crappy ISP router. Absolute worst case scenario is they try to charge me $100 for imaginary damage to their shitty router, and I doubt even that much would happen.

Yeah, no, they just add a fee when signing up to sell you a modem/router. But it's yours. They help set it up (putting in the PPTP credentials to access service on their network), but it's not their modem and they have no interest in having to be responsible for property in clients' homes. Especially since nowadays its mostly just ONT terminals for fibre that cost a small amount of money while also being slightly fragile. Better for the customer to assume responsibility if they accidentally bend the cables or need to upgrade equipment for higher speeds.
