Some people are fine with an ISP-provided router that just works, and some would rather run pfSense, if even just to look at the internals.

>ISP-provided router that just works

I don't remember the last time this was true. These things don't have a 'just works' mode.

I've never touched my ISP-provided router. But maybe it's just how it works in my country (Malaysia), we pretty much only have 1 ISP with monopoly, so maybe that helps.

I let them install the free ISP router a year back when they installed fiber in the neighborhood. I assumed I would swap it out the next day, but I haven't had any issues like back in the day. I love shopping for a nice router as much as the next tech nerd, but decent drop-in home networking seems to be pretty commodity now days.
