ISP blocked my Router. Why?

[turbovdub]

The Archer 1700ac router in my apartment has been pretty slow so I decided to try the router optimum provided when they installed the internet connection here. Once hooked up I got a message saying the router was connected at the wrong service location. Called optimum and they said the router is on a block list. She wouldn’t tell me why this happens and that I would get a call in 72hrs from the department that handles this.

Does anyone know in what instances routers end up on block lists from ISPs??

Stolen would be an obvious reason. Associated with an overdue bill would be another obvious reason. But you will just have to wait for the company to call you back.
