My take on this is you have to look at what supporting a customer router costs you in support and service calls. We have several clients who are doing one of a couple things.
Some are selling a managed router service for $X a month. This is typically a Mikrotik the ISP has access to. The ISP sets up the wireless, manages the router, and other such functions. This allows for a reference point on the customer side for testing, etc. The other way to approach this is if you don’t want mess with router configuration some folks are including a “modem” that is essentially a hAP or 750. This is just in bridge mode or is the PPPOE client. The customer then is free to plug in their own router if they so desire, but you still have a reference point from the customer side. If you need a customer to bypass their router you simply ask them to plug into port5 or whatever on your “modem”. That port can be setup to do DHCP or whatever. You have to look at how much support consumer routers is costing you. Many folks look at the cost of the routers and the cost to install them or replace them. But if it cuts your support calls by 30% that might mean the difference between hiring another person, or other “soft” costs.
