As far as I know, in order to give bandwidth on your local network to a neighbor's device, it would require your neighbor's device to obtain access credentials to your network. Despite promises of security, etc, I still feel this is a high-risk, and I certainly would not want that prying into my network. Someone WILL find a way to hack this, and eventually expose passwords to millions of WiFi networks. Worse yet, many people probably use the same password for their home network on other devices.
