it may seem like it, but router freedom is important in the EU as the ISP are forcing their own and proprietary routers and FSFE's campaign enables a lot of people to use their own router which are often Free Hardware e.g. in Czechia and partially thanks to FSFE's campaign we have a lot of people doing self-ISP and providing internet to others, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Internet_service_provider and it seems that majority of those WISP solutions are open-source but don't quote me on it. That said I don't believe that FSFE is currently in a position to do more in terms of Free Hardware, but it seems that majority of it's members are very interested in it.
