At least change it from the default SSID that probably identifies the 
model of your router.  That could be used to implement a device specific 
hack.  Most manufacturers prohibit logging onto the router's management 
account via the radio to help prevent this but...

Perhaps putting your address in the SSID would allow neighbours to help 
you set up security, if you are not able to find out the method :-)  (I 
wonder who "julie" is around here - I've used that open connection at 
the bottom of the garden rather than go back to switch mine on...)
