I started running B-Flets fiber through a supplied router but it
couldn't handle bittorrent (i.e the router regularly crashed) so I ended
up connecting directly.  When I got fiber setup last year, I was told
that Hikari One won't let you use your own router (I gather it isn't
optional) but I suspect it would probably just work anyway.  Is there
anyone who has tried this?
