They're just about everywhere I've traveled recently, not to mention all over the apt complex's around where I live. At least 2Wire ships them with WEP on. They deserve some props on the security front. Although on the other hand, with the sheer number of them out there now, if they had shipped with WEP off I'd be able to use my P2000W (WiFi VoIP Phone) just about anywhere!
