There's no obvious words or antennas on the unit that would give 
the naive user the idea that there's wireless present or active.  
Look at http://www.2wire.com/home/hp_index.html#whatsnew .
They brag that the wireless "bandwidth" is seven times more powerful.
At 400 mW, it'll stomp on cordless phones and security cameras.  

SBC also makes it easy to re-admin the device: on this unit from 
SBC Wisconsin, the admin password is the customer's street address, 
minus the spaces and punctuation.  Not that the docs or paperwork 
tell you that.  The box's web interface has its own password 
reminder page with the clue "address".  

I didn't poke around enough to see how they preset the WEP key.  
Let me guess: based on the street address?
