What professional installer? Consumer routers are all set up so the user configures it. Making the distinction between the end user and the installer sounds like the way DOCSIS locks the firmware of cable modems so the network operator has complete control over it.
I also wonder if this is the part of the FCC's plan to put data in the white space of other bands. The argument has always been that it's too difficult to coordinate all the different radios to prevent one accidentally transmitting where it isn't supposed to. But sending out frequency maps is easier when you can limit the number of different radios to just a few authorized vendors.
