Re: Car analogies...

Each CAR comes with a unique or semi-unique key to prevent unauthorized use.

Routers come with Identical SSID and Admin logins. The only way I know my linksys router from my neighbors linksys is the signal strength is slightly higher on mine.

So, perhaps router companies should require you to first run a setup disk to change SSID and Security features before wireless is activated? Or make them unique with a card included with the device with the lowest possible security enabled already (WEP).
