Unprotected Wireless Lans?
rjbull:
I find it strange Netstumbler lists ALL protected WLAN's as WEP-protected

Have you tried Boingo? It's really a tool for finding WiFi hotspots, but apparently contains a signal strength meter. It's free, but I think the install tries to sign you up to their network. I haven't tried either program, but was just wondering.

Because wireless today is so easy to setup that any Joe User can do it... but the accesspoints usually come without preconfigured security, because that would make them harder to set up. And well, once connected and working, why would Joe User need to read further in the manual?
