Hey guys I recently signed up to "rent my roof" for a new wireless start up in my area...they are installing an antenna on my roof and it will be hardwired to my router...they have assured me that my personal network would be at no risk...I am not very computer savvy and took their word but figured I should at least reach out to the community to see if I made a bad decision...I still have the ability to simply unplug the thing from my router and tell them to pick it up. Thanks in advance for any advice!

No reason a startup would need YOUR internet hardware to do their work. They should only need square footage and maybe power to install equipment - not your internet access, or your devices.... sounds really dodgy.

Who is this startup?
