All they want is the ability to turn on their laptop or Xbox in any part of the house and get a wireless connection and if they can use their original router then they are happy.
My router has always been on a long ethernet cable to ensure good coverage and it works connected to the Superhub which give me even more range for wireless access.
I could have just bought an access point but the was no need as my original router fitted the bill and saved me any expense.

This attitude is why isp's should stop supplying custom routers.
A normal router has features to try and cater for everyone, even if only 1% use it.
