It does have wireless.  That doesn't prevent people from trying to use their old equipment in addition. ("My dad's uncle's cousin's former roommate works in IT and told me I just needed to plug my old router into your new router.")

Oh, we still get calls about speed issues. It's always wonderful when someone puts their own 10 year old Linksys WRT54G and double NATs behind our CPE then sends in a speed test wondering why they're only getting 10Mbits on their Gbit line.  We get those ALL the time. :)

Does your CPE not have wireless? If it's double NAT'ing it's at least a router. If it doesn't have wireless, wouldn't it be cheaper to add it so you don't get the support calls?
