Stupidity of the CGM4141COX panoramic wifi modem

So I just upgraded to this CGM4141 modem because the previous modem I was using was a bit outdated.

Now the first thing I noticed with this device is the fact that you cannot use special characters when setting the router access password which means that you cannot have a strong secure password and will leave the login page rather vulnerable. The next thing I noticed is that there is no option to change the network name for my ethernet so I stuck with my Ethernet connection being name SETUP-22df i have scoured every option in the setup page of the modem with no success. 

If someone has successfully changed this option could you point out how you did this....

    Hi Nerdysquirrel,

    Thanks for reaching out to us through Cox Forums. We can certainly investigate your concerns. What special characters are you unable to use? Also, please elaborate the issue with changing the network name for your ethernet.
