It requires a certain amount of "megabytes" for it to be hacked ... I stated, there's no such traffic going through my wireless. :)
Are wired routers as easily hacked as wireless ones? And how much does it help to change the router password from the default?
The concern with wireless routers, is that the encryption is fairly easy to break, giving an intruder full access to the network. Many people don't even bother with encryption or other security, leaving their networks fully exposed. My wireless router, on the other hand, is outside of my firewall and requires ssh or vpn, to reach my home network, as well as breaking the wireless encryption.
