And most consumers probably lease their routers through their ISP as modem/WiFi router combos, which essentially remain supported and updated by the ISP.

If we alternatively enforce a floor on security updates for user-purchased routers, let’s say we require security updates for the physical lifespan of the device (10 years?), they will be baked into the price of the device in some way, and I’m not sure the majority of home router customers who essentially look to spend around $20-40 will be willing to bear that cost.

An example of that in action would be purchasing a business SKU laptop compared to a consumer one, and taking a look at the length of driver support.
