I've just scanned all APs within my proximity, and It's amazing how many are left unchanged at the default name of the manufacturer. That's already (potentially) 50% of the device compromised.

I bet the same will apply with default login credentials (admin:admin, admin2:admin2 etc).

Depending on the provider it could be due to factory resets of any hardware. As the first post showed I had a custom SSID but we had to do a factory reset because our ISP fucked up. Changing all the login credentials twice on everything is a hassle so we just left it as is.
