Orbi and BT FTTP
Hi,
I've just installed my new Orbi and Satellite system connecting to my BT Homehub 6 (with a FTTP connection).
My FTTP box on the wall connects to my BT Homehub via ethernet, and I have...
Hi guys,
Connected directly to the FTTP and the orbi is churning away like a champ! All sorted now!
Now the task of changing every single WiFi device to the new network.
Out of curiosity, how secure is the password that comes on the sticker on the box, presumably its just a random password generator that spews these out. I've changed mine, but have often wondered how secure they are?

Probably not that easy to crack, albeit Netgear uses a standard template, but also not easy to remember.
I create my own SSIDs and passwords to be memorable enough to me and easy enough to use.
But my nearest neighbours are 100 yards away and the chances of anyone glomming on to my wifi are minimal.
