using wireless router defaul encryption keys, dangerous?

Mar 01, 2006 0 Replies

Hi, I would like to know if it's dangerous to use the default encryptions keys from a wireless modem/router without using your own passphrase to generate the keys. I always thought that the default keys were randomly generated at manufacturing time so I thought that they could be used without any security risks. Is it the case? or are the default keys exactly the same in all routers of the same model?



Thanks in advance
