Now consider your average parent or grandparent and tell me that they’ll be 100% fine on their own and actually want to do this. Most would not. Often-times, the marketing itself is enough to scare these folks off of that kind of tech. They worry about things you probably don’t and don’t generally want to worry. Hell, even the fact that you’d have to purchase two completely separate items to get what you can currently purchase in a single unit is enough to not get many of them to do it.
I’m talking to the average Lemmy user, who could certainly set this up for themselves or their parents/grandparents. If they run some cable, it can be a much better setup than any consumer grade router, but it’ll still be competitive if you just leave it on the floor like a regular router (I do).
