Nighthawk M1 No Password Wanted

Hello, 
Basically my enquiery is if I'm able to have it set for no passwords at all I'm able to only set no passwords on the mobile app for only the guest wifi but then there's no signal going out so no data and not interent showed if that made sense.

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.
