Even though Centric is 1GB right now, I'm sure they will increase this eventually.

Thanks! Great advice on ordering a switch with at least 2.5GB ports - will do.
Curious as to why you would recommend leaving Calix alone and dumbing down my own router? I'm looking at the
Unifi Dream Router 7 for reference. I'm sure this is an in depth technical discussion so feel free to summarize, if you can. Is it as simple as the the cost of double NATing outweighing the benefits of added security / features I could use with the DR7?
