Okay, I will accept that..but times are changing. I think that if manufacturers put a small flyer in each router sold then people would start to get the idea. The flyer could talk about getting on-line and some of the dangers in leaving the defaults set as they come from the factory AND how to change them. I think that alot of people would prefer to have defaults so that they have a working starting point if they have to contact tech support or a friend or whatever. Sometimes a little education can go a long way. They could even put it in a pdf file that comes up after the installation has completed.
