I also have absolutely nothing to gain. At the moment. However, there are other things in the works that make accessing your home network desirable. One simple example is home control & security. You could control your thermostat etc. remotely.
Which I don't have. There are two mechanical thermostat (one is a small gas reservoir controlling a gas stove), and one electronic, standalone, for a single stove. I don't have money to spend on house automation. The gadgets I buy are those I really need, like an UPS for the frequent power failures (the house current limiter triggers at 10 A). So no new router till absolutely needed.
People currently use those X11 modules for that. You can also check status & alarms or even security cameras remotely.
Here, they use a dedicated cellular phone in the alarm box, separated from any networking in the house.
Many, many more things are possible.
Yes, like locating who is doing P2P >:-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
