ORBI Router password
I have an extremely strong password on my Orbi network, likely unhackable. Does that protect my router as well as my network? Therefor, how important is my route password?
"It is also unlikely that anyone will try in the first place"
No, very likely. A person who writes code for one of the biggies hacked me. I Had computer problems for a long time. They ended a couple weeks ago with a new, long, random character password. If my router is not protected by my WiFi password, it won't be long before he'll be in it again. But physical access is impossivble.
I agree. 22 random is strong. My SSID is several times longer... So I think I'll be okay with 8-1 intrernally.
You'll be fine.
