ELI5: What are the benefits of hacking your wifi router?

I saw a post about it being OK'd by the FCC. I didn't even know that was a thing? Come some one please explain?

You know how companies sometimes have multiple routers that they make that have different speeds and prices?  A lot of the times, the cheaper ones are basically the same as the more expensive ones, but artificially slowed either through a simple wire connection somewhere, or through firmware.  They wanted to make it illegal for people to hack their routers to be faster.  That's moot though, the main point here is that it shouldn't be illegal for you to modify things you own.
