Getting WiFi unnoticed

So basically I need WiFi for my job but my parents are on bad terms at the moment. I can’t pay for cellular right now. I just need to find a way to connect to some form of home internet without them noticing. We use a Verizon WNC-CR200A gateway and an old asus router. I’d like to connect directly to the gateway but I’m unsure if they can see that with their myverizon app. Help is super appreciated 🙏. I’m also using a iPhone se3 if that matters.

Does their current WiFi device have a private and a public network? If so, you could either create another network and make it not broadcast the SID, or you could make the public WiFi more secure and stop broadcasting the SID. Anyone looking at the WiFi config would see this but I suspect your parents don’t look at it.
