The good news is that we know how to turn on MAC Address Randomization, at least on the latest version of Windows tablets and phones: https://huitema.wordpress.com/2015/12/31/mac-address-randomization-in-windows-10/
We also fixed the leakage of metadata through DHCP: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-anonymity-profile/?include_text=1. That's implemented in Windows, turned on when the Wi-Fi MAC Address is randomized.
That and a VPN should minimize what the routers see. Without the VPN, we need DNS privacy. That will come soon.
And an ad blocker, of course.
