And ATT will share your WiFi psk with the feds.

Well if the feds are after you you're probably pretty fucked. I doubt using your own router is going to prevent them from getting what they want.

Wrong attitude

I'm saying a router isn't going to protect you. You need to do way more than that, and what's actually needed is way beyond what you can expect any normal person to do. If you're just telling people your router is compromised without listing the hundreds of other steps you need to do, you're giving them a false sense of security, and frankly, nobody cares about the vast majority of us.
