This sounds like the Shaw "Wifi to Go" routers they (Shaw) push out.  Agree to make your Shaw internet connection 
"shared" and they drop in a hotspot that provides a 2nd wifi network that subscribers can connect to.  In exchange for 
a discount on your local internet bill.  (Separate subnet.)

Of course, Shaw STILL doesn't do IPv6 ... ;-P
