For the moment, all devices need access to your wi-fi. Don't enable it. But... 5G (and later 6G) capability may be bundled into device and needs no permission for updates, spying, and limitations on how you use it. This will all be pushed under efficiency, safety, and "frictionless" utility. These are the chains being forged. Once widely adopted, just like CBDC it will give another total control over how you live your life. What you watch, how hot or cold you keep your home, what you eat, read, websites visited, and where you spend your money. There will always be workarounds but the more smart technology is brought into your home the harder it will be to escape its control.
