the notion of an ISP handing out a wifi router is rather foreign to me. is this mostly practiced in Europe? the only ISP i know that does this in the US is AT&T, with their DSL gateways which have built-in wifi. well i guess mobile hotspots also have generated numeric passwords as well. anyway, 99.9999% of the access points i encounter are purchased by their owners who have created their own passwords for these devices. but i suppose ymmv.
