We are talking about whether to bring up routing. The risk is theft of service. This is like locking the screen door if the inside door deadbolt is already locked. It is only an issue if the inside door has no locks or has very ineffective locks and even then locking the screen door doesn't really help much anyway. Every WiFi product I ever bought was open WiFi as shipped. Curtis _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
