What ISP-grade router are you using that is plug-and-play?  So far, all the
ones I've used have required some quite considerable configuration and
testing to verify they do everything I need, and that's *after* I've spent a
long time reading lies^Wfine marketing documentation trying to decide which
combination of features best suits my needs, and then trying to guess what
other features my business might need during the service lifetime of the
device.
