Many do not secure their wireless networks because they lack the technical know-how, while others are complacent. After you install a new wireless network, change the default passwords. This is vital because hackers have compiled a list of the defaults used by makers of wireless equipment. Instruction manuals will show you how to do this.
Your unsecured wireless network could be used by online crooks

I think thats what he meant. You can find almost any default password for a router by searching online.

Very true statement!! When I first moved to my neighborhood, there were ten different signals I was picking up from my house. Being an IT and the nice guy that I am, I used their routers to print off a message to each user. Basically, I typed a letter telling them to lock down their router, and then printed it onto their printers. I left my phone number and address for them to contact me if they needed help. Only a few of them contacted me because they were scared. They had no idea that someone could get into their networks. A couple of them said the felt as if someone actually broke into their home, their personal space, just from me printing something on their printers.
Good post!
rep for ya
As some did... After a beer and hug, they were ok.. lol

My default username and password were admin, admin.
It's not those any more! I also secured mine and am using 128 bit encryption with a 26 digit code.
