i always run openWRT and always left a secured, open wifi for anyone around to use. until i moved to verizon (since they have the officially sanctioned monopoly of my region) and now i have to run the ugly, power hungry, wireless AP+cable modem (they market it as fiber, but it is cable all the way until the block repeater, then fiber, then into my home, then cable again... the few meters of useless fiber is probably just to avoid CA laws to provide open TV channels for free if it was market as cable) anyway, all that rant just to say that my will to maintain yet another device is null after that. i just roll with the verizon aberration.
