I would wager any and all VPN services are encrypting the data that traverses between your device and the VPN server. Hence any device at the router level and beyond will just see a bunch of obfuscated gobbledegook.
But does that mean the data is actually encrypted in the WiFi signal going back and forth between the computer and modem/router?
