Someone already mentioned this below but it’s worth calling out: Comcast drastically limits the upload speeds when you bring your own router. It’s terrible practice and it punishes advanced users but is what it is. So if your dad is currently utilizing faster upload speeds for work, then he can expect those to go down when you switch him to non-Comcast gear.
I was told by a Comcast rep recently that this policy is going away (at least where I live) by the end of ‘24 so bring your own gear will get the same upload speeds as their gear, but we’ll see if that happens.
