My internet point comes into my apartment at one end. I'd like to have decent speeds on my laptop that's at the other end. I rent the apartment, so any cabling I do needs to either be loose cabling across the floor (dangerous), or neatly done but also capable of being totally removed without doing any damage (expensive in time, if not money). Comparatively, buying a 802.1AC capable router is cheap (in time, if not money) and portable when I invariably end up moving again. I mean, I could also get Ethernet over Powerline, but that subject to even more jitter and variable throughput, costs a comparable amount, and then means my laptop loses it's mobility. And then there's my wireless-only-by-default devices like my phone and tablet and other laptop...
