I run my wireless wide open so that it's less trouble getting additional
devices connected, it doesn't do wpa/2 so why bother?

But I think the question of why these devices allow wide open at all is
something that should be asked.  Why don't wireless routers come without
the option to not use encryption? For that matter, why doesn't every cisco
router (1700 series on up) and every dns server come preconfigured to block
passing RFC1918 space?
