I think we are moving into the future where ISP provides the router to you, or basically a Unit that combines Modem / ONT / Wireless Router into one. So you will (hopefully) get upgraded every 5 - 8 years.

They’ve been doing that forever and it’s a $15/mo charge for a device that costs maybe $100. You think educated consumers want to pay $15/mo for 60 months = $900? Fewer and fewer fall for that trick.

At least I expect the way forward will be ISP giving them for free. The price difference for an ONT / Modem or ONT/Modem + Wireless Router are minimal.
