"As Wi-Fi becomes a bigger part of our daily lives, expect that our broadband ISPs will likely move to extend their demarcation point(demarc for short). This demarc will quickly shift away from where it resides today, on the cable modem or DSL router, to the air interface on the Wi-Fi access points in our home. Carriers have already been using Wi-Fi enabled cable modems and DSL routers for some years now. However, with the advances I’ve mentioned, I expect to see almost every broadband ISP offer an in-home Wi-Fi mesh solution as a standard part of their broadband service over the next two to three years. The main motivation for the ISPs is to quickly get to a point where they can offer their users a high quality, secure Wi-Fi network that provides improved coverage throughout the whole home. These carrier-controlled Wi-Fi mesh networks will allow us to still have our private networks running alongside their networks and both will run on the same equipment. The upshot is that we won’t have to buy our own Wi-Fi mesh solutions and will be able to use those provided by our ISPs, like the vast majority of us already do today." -- Dave Täht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
