   As another thought question, if we knew how long Google stores the   
   SSID/MAC combination, we could buy two twin routers (for functionality,   
   e.g., AC1750) and swap them every - oh - say - 3 months.   
      
   If the Google storage period is 90 days, then Google would have dumped   
   the old LAN MAC by the time the new LAN MAC shows up.   
      
   Would that work?   
      
   Do we know Google's storage period for MAC addresses associated   
   with WiFi LAN SSIDs?
