It could make sense if you were essentially leasing Wi-Fi gear, so that you would always get the latest and greatest as the Wi-Fi standard evolves - receive new gear and send back the old gear every year or so.
But this does not make any sense. You are already buying a router, and they're tacking on a subscription on top, for what appears to be snake oil.

Replacing all your installed wifi gear every week with the latest and greatest doens't improve much if you aren't also upgrading your individual devices. There is some room to play, but most all developments in wifi need upgrades to both routers and devices. Furthermore, as wifi is a shared medium, your experience is heavily dependent on the behavior of your neighbors. Routers can hop channels all they want, that doesn't make more room in the spectrum. If you want to stream a billion gigs per second over your fancy AC++ router, something that requires exactly half the available spectrum, you better live deep in the woods.
