I know I can add a router behind the primary       router. The main manual setup will be to assign a /64 to the LAN side of that       router. The existing router will pick up the advertisements, setup routing and       optionally open the firewall for that /64 (so that filtering can be controlled       by the second router).              I haven't put that to the test yet, but tempted to give it a try sometime, as a       learning exercise. :)               RM> That is added complexity for a low cost product, where most of your        RM> residential customers will have no clue what this is all about.              If the market demands it, it will come (and in a low cost, easy to use form).               RM> So it makes more sense to offer that on higher tier (and more        RM> expensive) services.              I can see that changing. As I said, when separation of functional networks       becomes a thing.                            ...
