said by Artwebb1986:Well considering I never once said anything about adding another router. So no extra points of failure.
Do you not know what thread you're in?

The people that want to bypass the HH4K are going to be using their own router behind it already. So the quest is to get rid of the extra component: the HH4K.
People who are happy with the HH4K are not going to be bypassing it.

said by Artwebb1986:Yes so HH4000 has the same amount of failure points as a 3rd party router + sfp module, both have 3. HH4000 + sfp module + power is 3. Router + power + sfp module is also 3.
That's the point. Trying to get back to 3 components instead of 5. The difference being that you now have a 3 component versatile 3rd party router instead of a 3 component basic HH4K.
Incidentally, my router has dual power supplies so that mitigates a point of failure.
