He says their tech support tells him CPE - Winston - Router.
Maybe that would work if "CPE" is actually something like a cable modem / residential gateway. But in that case the gateway would normally have WiFi and the customer wouldn't have another router. Why am I hearing the jingle "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"? Not as good as the Marlboro Man theme song (aka Magnificent Seven theme). Hard to believe how accepted cigarette smoking once was. Of course now we have vapes.

They tell him to put it on the Internet side of his router, and that it should just work. It doesn't, and he then has no Internet. We use PPPoE. I don't see how this thing can work, unless it does the PPPoE and essentially takes the place of the router. When he called them, of course the told him that his ISP needs to "open ports". https://winstonprivacy.com/ Of course, the customer is also an Applehead.
