Partly because I need to keep resetting the damn thing at least once a week and I don’t want to go through the hassle of enabling encryption each time. Partly because I’m on the 19th floor of a high-rise building and I’m not too worried about anyone hijacking my bandwidth. I suppose it’s possible that one of my neighbors could access it and do all kinds of nefarious things, but I’ll take my chances.
