It's also my question. A working design must also be cheap. The "A liter of light" project is a great example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Fpsw_yYPg
The prototypes shown are far from achieving cost effectiveness it seems.

I don't know how good people are at evaluating the usefulness of knowledge and skills they've acquired, but I'd believe there is some kind of bias. I tend to think things I know are trivial and can be learned easily. But I've also seen smart but non-CS background people cobbling poorly written code together only to make it work and he wished he has taken some CS classes while at school as well.
It might be true that smartest people can learn everything on their own, but by definition 'most people' aren't the smartest.
But the price is a bummer. Routers are dirt cheap nowadays ( during Christmas/Thanksgiving a dual-band was only $18). I've got one WiFi router for each room, backed by Powerline, and the total was probably only ~$200.
Well I guess $100 isn't too much for peace of mind, if it really works as advertised...
