use router without wifi...

OK, this is unique, but I would like to clarify first that I am using this router WITHOUT internet.  I don't need it to be connected to the Internet, and I won't ever use it for the Internet.  

This router is simply connecting various computers/phones/iPads to an audio device so we can change the setting on it through the app that it works with.

 

That said:
Connecting to the device isn't the problem, BUT

Every device that tries to get on the Wi-Fi network to establish a connection gets prompted with a popup window asking to change the network's password.  WHY?  I've done this about 20x now, and it still does it each and every time on any device (Mac, PC, IOS, android). 

 

Is this a bug? Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks
