How does a WiFi adapter work straight out the box?

Shouldn't I have to type in the password to the home WiFi?

Seems like something is no secure 🤔

The unit could be one that's generic and doesn't require a password, but I would check my network and all connections and passwords. This doesn't sound right.

@8Rockhead8 it eventually disconnected me and requested a password. It was days later though

@iamnikki It did? Sounds like it may have grabbed an unsecure neighboring WIFI.
Are you operating safely now?
