that means if the router is faulty, there is no access anymore.
if you have a spare available, that can work, but it depends how much 
will cost for your company
an interruption of internet access (no mail, no corp web if hosted 
locally, etc) for the time you put the spare in place.

IMHO the type of architecture and redundancy for internet access depends 
on the cost of the interruption
and the delay that is allowed per year (1 hour, 1 day)

hope this'll help
