WNDR4500v2 - any way to keep wireless passwords off of the router "basic" login page?

Hello,

 

For security purposes, I would like to prevent the WNDR4500v2  login page from displaying the wireless passwords on the "Basic" login page. I do not want anyone near the computer to be able to see them when I have to access this page on router. Is there any way to stop this?

    Welcome to the community, c_of_c

     

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to hide it.

     

  • Thank you for the update. I recommend, in future firmware/product releases, that you remove the passwords from being displayed automatically, as this becomes a HUGE security exposure for managing this product.
