My mother would fail to be able to do this. Not just because it's a technical challenge, but also because her ISP sends out routers which are preconfigured with a SSID to make setup _easier_, you just plug and play. No admin console, no telnet (TBH: I didn't look to hard for either). Perhaps GOOG feel privacy is only the concern of people that have enough nouce to setup a wifi router? 100% of the routers at residential buildings I connected to wifi at on my recent trip to the UK were this type.
