I really, really hate to force users to use my network edge router (I 
provide the ONT, though, and I provide an edge router that works and 
most users do take it), but it can be tough to ensure users have 
something that supports all the right modern features and can be 
configured via standard means.

It would be nice if the consumer router industry could get its 
collective act together and at least come up with some easy-ish to 
understand feature support table that customers can match up with their 
service provider's list of needs.  The status quo of a list of devices 
that work right (which is of course often staggeringly short if you're 
doing any of these modern transition mechanisms) that needs constant 
updating and may not be easily available is not ideal.

Heck just having a real, complete list of supported features on the 
model support page on their website would be an improvement...
