I wonder how good the wireless encryption (if any) is? If it isn't, can you say Denial of Service?

(Yes, you're also allowed to say ``paranoid''.)

All wireless is subject to DoS by a stronger signal generator, it's called "interference" or
"jamming".  Wifi and old cordless phones DoS each other all the time.

Well, yes. I was thinking of something more elegant and specific, one not affecting networks next door.
