The wireless advantage is ... less wires.
But you are right. The stock setups are not secure. And even if you secure the setups, legislation forbids airtight security. That's a problem I've yet to see addressed.
Even with current security settings, I can supply a boot CD that will crack your security settings given enough time. So stay wired if you can.

Seems like everything is going to wireless.
If you are using a single desktop computer, no networking, don't ever move computer, ... what is value of going wireless compared to hardwired componants?
Can't people cruise by your house and pick up your wireless computer usage? If so, it would seem that you are exposing yourself unnecessarily???
Thanks
