If you don't change the default username and password to your router's web interface, it can be accessed.

From this point, the individual could look at what ports you have forwarded, and to what computer on the network, allowing them to profile the services you are running. Aside from that, I don't know a whole lot about it, but that person could probably run a man-in-the-middle type of attack to get personal information like credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, etc.

If you're interested in wireless network security, we have a lot of information on here about wardriving, much of it thanks to DNR. Anyway, i hope this helped answer your question. Good luck ;)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It works on my machine...

If you are using wifi and you have not set up any encryption than sure. Just make sure you use a strong password.
We will either find a way, or make one.

No to be an asshole but they put passwords on them for a reason. Think about it. You have a safe in your front yard but leave it unlocked 8O

Put a password on it and set up a secure network.
