I think that's a little misleading. You're right that people might assume that their old router is useless, when it probably isn't, but if you don't clarify "use your own router", then people will assume that it can be used in the same way it always had. That's just as bad an assumption.

With VM, only one device can receive the external address allocated, and that device can't currently be your own router if you have a superhub. You can, however, daisy-chain the routers or possibly reduce the functionality of it to be a simple ethernet switch/wireless access point to complement the superhub.
