Remarkable product but insecure in default configuration
Member Review WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is disabled by default;
the default administrator ID and password are well known. Consequently, if this is deployed by somebody who doesn't understand the consequences (or how to enable WEP and change the password) it...
