    I always just have my wife just  use my info. Not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure its just a single account to login to the router.

    Hello,

    I read you have to query about do you use the same password or not

    So there is a Yes, you can use a single pass for your wifi 

    via that single password you and your wife both login 

    A router does compare what is username not the password check if your user name is same you must change it. 

    Hope this will help you.

    Hi wondershade

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    To answer your inquiry, may we please know what type of app you installed on your wife's phone? Is this a Nighthawk App? Orbi App? Aircard App? 

     

    Regards,
