The default wireless protocol allowed is only WPA (WPA2 is available with the Surfboard wireless modem they gave me, but is disabled by default, for some reason). Bright House will not change your settings either, so you're stuck with whatever network name and password they gave you. Attempting to change them within the router's administration control panel will seem to work for a few hours, but Bright House regularly resets your router's configuration back to its default settings. Wireless settings such as SSID, pre-shared key, and allowed protocols are pre-configured by Bright House for your cable modem/router box and cannot be overridden. This will, unfortunately, mean plenty of wireless networks in Central Florida with insecure wireless settings. As Bright House starts to roll out it's Road Runner Lightning service, the "Wireless Home Networking" solution that is bundled with it for free will begin to gain more traction.
