The thing is that the pandemic has changed the game on the ground: there is an actual feature differentiator to be had. But having dealt with the Linksys folks in the past I don't put out much hope that they'll take advantage of it. The software development side was a vast black hole where time stands still. It seems the entire industry is like that.

A jump from 10Mbps to 100Mbps is a differentiator.

A jump from 100Mbps to 1Gbps, even though more difficult, is also a differentiator.

A jump from 1Gbps to 10Gbps... yeah, as my Ugandan friend would say, "That's a hard paper".

One would ask, "What happened to all the Gbps in between :-)?"

Again, your issue isn't the bandwidth itself. Your issue is how people use devices, as well as the limitations of those devices themselves.

You can, pretty much, forget about much of the world using a wired device, going forward.
