MODERATORS
Based on the language, it would seem to exclude ISP provided routers as those are not “designed to be installed by the consumer”. It also excludes anything not SoHo.
I haven't seen an ISP offer tech installation on anything in years unless the home wasn't pre-wired. Self installation kits are the norm these days.
