As far as I know the newer Wifi 6 and 7 standards are way better for this so just keeping your old router would make things a lot fuzzier. Also generally the ones that are the best at this radar stuff are also the ones that have trouble going through walls. Plus in public you don't have privacy anyway with cameras everywhere.

Also since this is examining how radio waves bounce around you could literally just add noise to it. Place decorations around the house that make radio waves bounce like crazy. Coat your ceiling fan in radio reflective material for example.
