   My router/modem is owned and operated by my ISP. It's part of the service.   
    Further unless turned off it's also a hotspot for all the other ISP's   
    customers (their password required) who are in WiFi range and might want to   
    use it. When mine failed awhile back I used my neighbors hotspot until it   
    was fixed (at no charge, part of the service). Great for us none-tech   
    customers whom I suspect most are...
