Despite of the idea being good, the easy sounding of it is just absurd. They will definitely mine data on their own, as per the company, and if you want to truly protect your privacy, a simple modem installation will not do the trick over numerous reasons.
It may be able to filter ads and related based on ad-blocking, block-lists and so forth, but it cannot for example safeguard you from your PC being literally a spyware machine, and WIFI protection does not safeguard you from other and more powerful ways of surveillance and data mining.
