Last night I was playing with my new setup, and it connected to 3 open wifi. All 3 routers I connected to have the default admin and no password. One of them is a D-Link, one is some kind of DSL thing (Actiontek) and the 3rd one I don't remember what kind it was. Looks like some people just buy the thing, plug the power and the internet in and use it without doing any kind of configuration. I believe the manufacturer should set the security on by default and write on the manual a unique password (like the serial number for windows).

I want to use this to connect to the city's free wifi, which is too far away from me, and if everything works, I want to run my internet and Vonage phone service on it.
