We do managed router service ONLY now and no longer sell routers outright. We use R200 and R201
We charge $50 setup and $10 per month and then we warranty the router for as long as they have that service. If they cancel or choose to stop the managed router service, they return the router to us as we own it. We're at a 70% take rate for new customers on our service which amazes me it is that high. I'm not complaining though.
