FWIW, I have my home 802.11b router left to factory defaults for two

computer uses tubes). The other is that I am in an area of frequent
power outages and I don't want to futz with resetting it every time
I lose power.
No, I will not tell you where I live so you can mooch bandwidth.
None of the routers I've used or set up loose their settings on a
power outage. They wouldn't last long in the market if they did.
It's still a good idea to change the SSID from the default. Even
ministers go wireless and if they have the same brand and THEY don't
change the SSID you could have problems.
