Dropbox had basically no competition at the time as the idea of cloud files was barely in the market.
Meanwhile, home routers with meshing and security and built-in cloud management planes with easy apps are already cheap.
What would your pitch be when mom & dad would probably just stumble on Amazon Eero or Netgear Orbi? Someone already brought fire back to the home market, you can't differentiate if you're just putting up a site and a device, unless you hit some absurd low-$ cost in an already low-margin industry.
You'd be better off looking for a niche or industry where the edges are sharp, the tooling is bad or inconsistent, and there's no clear winner.
