That thing is in your wifi, it probabl has bluetooth too.
It knows the pattern of other devices in your wifi comming and going. It could even grab metadate of every traffic in your wifi. It probably has a temperature sensor (knows when you open your windows). It probably has a movement sensor hence beeing able to grab vibration data…like do you walk around, when, how much, more than one person.
It could also act as part of a DDoS attack or be used as a domestic ip proxy.

Nah it’s on a separate vlan
To what end?
Maybe. Being a major brand I’m sure some network nerds would notice these kind of packets at some point. But that’s probably the most realistic.
