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
