    Do they have physical access to the router? If so then they could obtain access to your port using a hub or they could hook something to the WAN side of the router to sniff ALL packets. Who is it that you are worried about?

    Routers are also switches and once the switch learns MAC addresses, the data from each connected device only passes to and from the proper endpoints (the source and destination) of where the packets are supposed to go. Initially before learning all MAC address, your packets are broadcast for a very short time to all physical ports of the router.
