Netgear Default Wi-Fi Password

I have changed my router login password,  but would like to know if the default wi-fi password as supplied on the sticker is unique,  or is it the same Wi-Fi password for every R8000 X6 AC3200 ?

if i'm not mistaken, it's based on the wifi MAC address which is a unique one for each unit.

    No - the default wifi password had been preprogrammed in the flash rom along with MAC addresses
