Do not use default configurations or out of the box configurations with wireless devices. That is just an open invitation to a potential attacker, as seen in the recent internet explosion with home computers possessing cable modems (always on) and their lack of security (even a simple firewall) can lead to possible damage without the knowledge of the user. The concept of defense in depth must be applied here, just like the layers of an onion as you peel it, you must plan ahead and layer your wireless security scheme.
