Some possible mitigations:
- Buy your own modem or modem/router combo for $50-100, if your ISP supports 3rd-party modems (most that I've used do)
- Buy your own router for $50-100, hardwire it to the ISP-provided modem; connect everything else only to your own router. This is possible with any ISP. If the ISP-provided device includes WiFi, disable it via the admin interface if possible
- If you aren't using the WiFi on the ISP-provided device, you can often unscrew the antennas (may not be 100% effective, but can't hurt)
- If you're more technically inclined, and your router sipports it, flash OpenWrt or similar open-source firmware
