Router are the cornerstone of internet security. Next question have you enabled WPA or WEP on your wireless links and changed the default passwords, without that its not hard to be on the other side of your router.

Its weak for sure, but nowhere near as weak as the plethora of open connection with standard passwords. And you can enable it without changing hardware. most of the small routers wont even cop VPN passthru.
