    FFS. Gonna have to wrap the washing machine in silver foil and get in the neighbours to pour water on their router! Joking.

      Would be easier to create a “guest” network to connect those appliances to and make it a LAN (local area network) only. Can’t phone home. Can’t download updates.

        I guess you missed my earlier comment in this thread; to reiterate: some devices will now get online via your neighbors’ devices even if you don’t give them wifi access.

          Ah, no I saw the comment but missed the part where Amazon is letting other companies use the sidewalk protocol. I’m fortunate enough to have neighbors who don’t use Amazon’s stuff, but if other companies are using their tech it’s a moot point.

          I wonder if any of these appliances would stop functioning if the bluetooth and wifi module was suddenly disconnected? Not actually asking, just putting the thought out there. I miss “dumb” products.
