I mentioned both of these links to the rep, but was met with silence. His final suggestion was to get more people to complain about support for Chromecast, because it won't work on current configs. With enough complaints, perhaps Verizon corporate would change their policy.
I also spoke to Actiontec support, asking how to enable UPnP. He said it's disabled at Verizon's request on this modem. I told him about the links, and he said the pages are there, but they don't actually control any fumctionality, as it's disabled. He suggested setting a DMZ and opening some ports, but that didn't work, either.
I highly doubt enough complaints would get Verizon to change anything. Have you looked at their facebook page? It's mostly full of people complaining with zero results. Thanks to heavily biased (towards Verizon) two year contracts, they have most people where they want them. Between that and near zero expansion, I don't think Verizon is overly interested nor do they care.
