Password

Is the password I used to enter this network the same one I can give out for others to use my wifi? I don't have any way to test it today and I don't want to get into the protocol setting up my new hi-tech thermostat and be stopped halfway through for not being able to connect it to my wifi?

    What is "this network"?

     

    Your wifi? The Internet? Your browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
