Nope, not explicit. And this, again, is the problem with your server analogy.
Nobody puts a server on the internet without intending to serve the internet.
People put a WAP in their home intending it for their own use
all the time.
That they did not change the default settings on that WAP can not be presumed to give
you permission to use it.
