I feel like the original title "Your ISP is Probably Spying On You" better describes what this post is about. Not using the original router can be due to all kinds of reasons, not just privacy
Another cool thing about WiFi routers is that you can use them as radars to monitor people in a home. The 2.4ghz frequency is perfect for reflecting off water bodies while having great penetration through walls.
Would it be ghostly figures or more like black and white photos?
I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that some ISPs route your entire traffic through their machines. They even have access to your IP packets. Very shady!

I wonder what kind of resolution you can achieve. Would it be ghostly figures or more like black and white photos?

It can know who the person behind a wall is. It can trace a person's handwriting in air from behind a wall. It can determine how a person behind a wall is moving." [4]

I always assume that they might be. So I always use my own perimeter router/firewall running pfSense. Plus I use VPN services. And so my ISps don't end up seeing anything except encrypted streams. And have no visibility into my vLANs.
