Do you still want to have local wifi?

as previously stated, it needs NO internet connection. the WIFI connection works fine for us to connect to, BUT each time we connect to the router on ANY device... it asks us to change the WIFI password. all I need is for any / all of our devices to connect to the router and NOT have it give us a pop-up that tries to make us change the password.
how do we stop that prompt?
