Keeping default router login and password
Most of this makes perfect sense, however I'm a bit confused about why it is such a problem to keep the default router login.
If I have remote admin disabled on the router, and I'm using WPA2 with a strong passphrase to secure the AP, then how could anyone access my router in the first place, and therefore how could the router login details I use make any difference?
Obviously in a business environment where there are employees, contractors, customers etc. accessing the AP this is obviously critical, but for a home network, where I control all access and all devices, I can't see how this is really all that important.
