each router using default admin passwords, what do i do?

here's a completely off the wall suggestion: go round and tell them about the security holes, and offer to help fix them... maybe then you
would get on with them?

He he. I reckon that once they get back to work and start chatting they'll realise that more and more people are telling them to secure it so
they will pretty soon. In the meantime its how generous do you feel? Get it used if you don't even say so much as a hello in passing I say or
else, like above,if they're not so bad chap their door and tell them. I suppose you can always fall out with them again at any time but its
harder to make friends again.

Just thought. Don't tell none of them then you'll be able to access the net whilst building in your garage. Now where's that
wireless thing of mine....

Careful here, interfering and / or using without permission is an offence under the Computer Misuse Act.
So, dont do it, or if you do, then at least spoof and rotate / change your own MAC address regularly. So you are less traceable.
I dont have your problem, In the last 14 years, 5 of my 6 imediate neighbours (3 each side of the road) have moved away, and the 6th has the house up
to let.
I dont know why. Cant be my 40ft Lattice Aerial Mast, or the 24 year old Land Rover on the drive (my daily drive), or me angle grinding in the
evening, or testing the Rover V8 with no manifolds, let alone exhausts.
Nah... They are just a bunch of spoilsports, who think "OLD" starts at 3 years when talking cars
Bah.... Humbug Its Xmas time, Be Good Willed to one another.
EDIT:
Set their SSID's.... ALL the SAME (name), so their Laptops access each others WLan's... that should confuse things a bit.
Or get into the routers DHCP server, and set the DNS server settings to some random (real) IP address that is not a DNS server!... not much will work
after that, and not so easy for them to spot either.
oops... I am being evil now!

well u live in cambridge people there are rich and have brand new range rover and land rover every second year before the mot expires and don't
take part in much pratical engineering so they don't, but for those things to make them move away, you'd probabily be better of not
knowing them
why does the list of things to change it to keep on growing?

Cathedral)

Not everyone in Cambridge, or the surrounding area is rich. More's the pity, I could do with being rich

When you view the available wireless networks it tells you if they are protected or not.
The best thing to do is use MAC filtering if your router supports this as limits the connections to your individual network cards MAC address
