Couldn't you just daisy chain a second router via Ethernet and use it? Bonus points for VPN-ing all of your traffic.


Daisy-chaining routers is can severely degrade some services (gaming, p2p) due to NAT. Assuming the ISP-provided one supports PCP or UPnP-IGD you need a client on your own router that relays port forwarding configuration to the upstream router. This is possible but may need non-trival setup.


PCP that allows ingress connections without an established egress connection is rarely enabled. The same applies to UPnP because of the baddies.
