Would anyone know the current default encryption mode?

The answer is: WPA2 PSK. I know this doesn't really belong here, but I would just point out that the password is a minimum of 8 chars - any less and the wifi.ap.config() call won't work.

That bit of information about the password is gold. I've looked seemingly everywhere to try to figure out why my call to config wouldn't work with "0000" as the password.

I'm glad my post helped. Along the same vein, I'm going to make a pull request on some changes I've made to the wifi.ap module. One of the enhancements includes an error message if the provided password is less than 8 chars.
