O.P. RE: Router defaults?
It is (wireless). That's why my parents wanted WPA2 security. (And I didn't 'cuz I knew it'd turn out like this).

And I've been telling my parents they should extend the wire from the PC downstairs to the router. But they don't want to (of course :S ) for whatever mysterious reason (parents ^o) :P )

You should be proud your parents at least know how to secure their wireless network :). So many people still don't know or simply don't care to secure their connection, leaving it open for everybody to steal your passwords and other scary things.

Finish the problem

They didn't know until my mother read the "digital-magazine" from the "Consumentenbond" :P

Well, I've clicked the mouse button LOTS of times that afternoon, only to try and repair the damage damage done by these security settings.
