Just for grins I once tried to log on to some other routers in my neighborhood. Many of them were completely unsecured and used the default admin name and passwords. If I had wanted to, I could have completely re-configured my neighbors' routers (among other things). Don't fool yourself into thinking that no one is going to mess with your home network. Anyone driving by can pick up the signal and could potentially wreak havoc.
Also, when checking for nearby networks on my cell phone once, I saw several that were named "FBI Surveillance Van 1", etc. Gave me a good laugh.
