that doesn't even do 5GHz, so your wifi performance will be cripped by
interference and the lack of available bandwidth.

There is a company called Netduma which sells a product called the
Netduma R1 Router. It's main feature is reducing lag. It does this
through QOS and GEO-IP Filtering. (Limiting available servers to your
local region = reduced RTT)
It seems relatively popular in the gaming world, especially console.
It is based on OpenWRT Chaos Calmer: https://netduma.com/opensource/
It has an advanced QOS system that already uses FQ_Codel.
Here are the hardware specs:

I assume it has an ath9k.
Maybe they could implement the ath9k fq_codel and airtime patches.
The user base that buys this product seems like they would be more
familiar with setting up routers than the average person.

If there is a simple affordable solution, say Open/DD-WRT distro
based bridge that all you do is configure your up/down bandwidth and
it applies Codel/fq-Codel/Cake, then all you need to do is drive up
awareness. A good channel for awareness would be getting in contact
with popular Twitch or YouTube gaming streamers. But I wouldn't put
much effort into driving up awareness until there is a device that
people can easily acquire, use, and afford. At first I was thinking
of telling people to use *-WRT supporting routers, but changing the
firmware on your router requires too much research, and many people
care about bleeding edge features. You need something that works in
tangent with whatever they are using.
If Comcast sells you 100/20 (I have no idea if this is a thing), you
set your upstream on this box to 18 meg fq_codel, and then Comcast
oversubscribes you so you only get 15 meg up part of the time, then
you're still bloated by the modem. This is not a solution.
I don't think "buy $thing, install *WRT on it, configure it like this"
is above most gamers, but I'm afraid we don't even have a working
solution for someone with that kind of skillset.
