wireless stations, using "out-of-the-box" configurations, which by
default will have encryption disabled.
If you would start-up such stations with their default configuration, these
stations would not be able to establish an initial connection to the network,
since they wouldn't be able to interpret the encrypted beacon messages.
For optimal security against unauthorized access to your network, you are
advised always to leave the
