   So you can only track me if you physically sell me the router in a shop and   
   write down the MAC address?   
      
   I think I'll cope with that very serious potential privacy risk.   
   Fortunately it's not the 1990s anymore.   
      
   It still just boils down to knowing my home address. Which is already   
   public knowledge.
