Since this suddenly turned into a courtroom, no reasonably educated person would be aware of the difference of wireless encryption standards. The manual for his router undoubtedly has instructions for setting it up, but none for securing it properly. I think perhaps you have more legal knowledge than technological knowledge if you believe this is not the case. He cannot be expected to control ultimate security, as it has been demonstrated in case law over and over that completely securing your computer is reasonably impossible.
If you really must apply your car metaphor, then an insecure wireless connection (provided the person reasonably read the manual and installed it to the best of their knowledge) then they are at no liability. This would be true in the case that the manual for your car never explicitly said that you had to lock your car for it to be secured. In this case, you would not be liable if a criminal stole your car and wreaked havoc with it.
