Hi Spolk and NobO

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

 

Please access AC800S web user interface then go to Wi-Fi > Options. Look for an option that will allow you to Hide/Show WiFi Info on Home.

I want to lock the screen.

The hidden password can still be accessed from the modem itself.

How do I stop someone accessing the modem settings from the home screen?
