Hi Micky,

YES, and if not him, then anyone else that is also using his network 
(authorised or not). And then, everytime he switches on his machines 
with unknown malware (who knows?), those same machines are looking at 
you, you being on the same network.

Please fix this. If you have a large or difficult property, consider 
wiring access more points and sticking them on 5GHz. Your router 
password needs to be quite long, looks like complete randomness, you'll 
hardly ever type it. Change it from the one the manufacturer set as a 
matter of course.

BTW There is no point any more in hiding SSIDs that used to be 
fashionable security advice. In fact if you do that then your portable 
device is forced to maintain a local list of recent contacted SSIDs and 
repeatedly calls out "Are You There?", which anyone can use for tracking 
you when you are out and about.
