Re: Nighthawk M1 No Password Wanted
I assume you mean for connecting to wifi (not the password to connect to the router administration page).
That "password" for wifi is NOT a password. It is a key for encryption. Sure, it may keep unwanted people out, similar to what a password does. But its primary function is to get all devices talking using the same encryption key.
Without this passphrase, there would be no encryption, which means the whole neighborhood could listen in to the data being transmitted. This is why it is necessary.
