I generally turn the radios off. One of my nearby neighbors likes to use 
my net allocation, at 80+gigs/month if leave it enabled. Smartfone or 
whatever, it walks right thru a fresh wpa2 setup 30 seconds after I 
enable the radio. Same story out in the garage with an rpi3b except I 
can see that traffic with wireshark. So that radio stays off too.
