The number one "family tech support" question I get these days is "why doesn't my internet work?" Usually meaning it's too slow, drops out, or doesn't work in certain parts of the house. Often they've done something like adding a cheap "wireless repeater" expecting it to fix the problem, and just making it worse.

Anything that allows me to just say "go buy this" instead of having to troubleshoot their cheap ISP-provided combo access point/router is a win in my book....
