If I understand this article correctly, the Alexa I recently purchased to locate the cat (Alexa hasn't a clue) will now resort to strutting the sidewalk and getting promiscuous with the neighbours.

I believe neutering is the only answer.

Our internet provider does some sort of network sharing that if you don't want to be part of you need to go and shut the sharing off.

Basically they have created a massive wifi hotspot since they are one of 2 big internet providers, so unless you shut off sharing option, you will be a wifi hot spot...
