Yes, I think most people are fine with inexpensive wireless routers which cost 10-40 dollars or less, or rental routers which come with your ISP subscriptions because a lot of people live in smaller houses, apartments, in a rental basement, or other smaller place which does not need super long range, and signal strength.
I used a 20 dollar wireless router from Trendnet from the early 2000s till 2012, and it worked pretty good with long range, and I replace it with a 49.99 dollar Medialink router which work as good.
Rental routers could be good for companies since they don't have to hire a full time employee which can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year to fix, replace, or adjust the settings on the routers, modems, cables, and other electronic things because you need to hire employees for a few hours a day, pay for their healthcare, dental, and worker insurance in case they get injured on the job.
Your other employees can do more important tasks like working at the cash register and packing groceries at a grocery store, serving food at a restaurant, and sweeping the floor with a broom while the guy from the internet company fixes your router because you paid the internet company $5 a month which is only $60 a year.
Foreign students and workers who stay in a country for a few months could save money with a rental router since some rentals are $5 or less a month, and they get free replacement routers when they break. Plus, Routers made for the US don't work in other countries because of different electrical plugs and power rattings.
