They will be offering that basically when the cable modem/Slingbox comes out soon. It will be a router with a Sling included so you won't have the set up issues you find now. The question is how much will it be, what cable companies will go for it, and of course will those that use DSL make the switch becuase they can use Sling.

As for setting up the router isn't hard you just need to have some background in networking. They could try things like Microsoft did with "Xbox certified" rotuers but even that isn't always going to work, so many vairables come into play.
