If someone tells me their wifi password is still the default password, I automatically think less of them
This is why I change mine to something difficult to comprehend yet still legible.
Something like:
"FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE", one word, all uppercase.
My trick is to change it to something that I immediately forget then if I need to modify any settings I can do a factory reset to get back in. Works every time

as a satilite software engineer. your just an asshole. smart and better protected, but thinking less of people due to something so silly makes you asshole.
Since manufacturers are getting more pushed into getting rid of default passwords and including random generated ones this is thankfully getting less and less of an issue.
Types in "onthebackoftherouter"
"fourwordsalluppercase"
My Wi-Fi password has been "on the box" for years for specifically this joke
The password is
on the back of the routera complaint about delivery of the wrong grade of copperCame here for jokes about Ea-Nasir.

Didn't know wingdings has those characters
And make it a QR code. Sheesh.
So convenient for my steam deck!
I have a randomly generated password for my wifi (mostly historical reasons), but I hang QR codes around for it. Unfortunately, not enough devices support that sort of thing.
"UsethisQRcodeforthedefaultpassword" My new password, thx.
I hope you had their permission before putting their password out there where anyone could read it.
I have a friend in Iceland who has spent several years teaching himself to read cuneiform for fun.
Also, people from Iceland are fucking weird.
Take a deep breath and look for the text that follows "password:" Self defeat is sell fufilling! Think of it as ASCII wheres Wally.
Do you mean Waldo?
Pretty sure they say wally in England/Australia.
That or I'm an idiot, that could be it too
I don't think I could ever go back to an off the shelf router anymore. Years ago I set up a pc with pfsense, hooked that up to a switch for my wired devices plus one to the wireless access point I bought from ubiquiti. Almost zero issues after setting it up, plus it's much more flexible in that if my wireless dies, my wired devices still work. Or a component in the PC dies, I can just replace the part instead of the whole router. Takes some networking knowledge but really nothing you can't learn from googling.
... with every replaced part and yearly power consumption costing as much as a new conventional low-power router? If the only thing it does is routing packets and you don't run any heavy services on it, there are low-power, compact and cheap openwrt routers out there.
I don't want openwrt
Thankfully I know people who read cuneiform and can tell me what the Unicode to enter is
See itβs not hard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_(Unicode_block)?wprov=sfti1
I can find where the password is, it's just the default password handwritten like the title text.
Cuneiform! Oldest writing system known, I love it
I get the point of the meme, but can I just say I hate routers that give you a default password other than admin or password. Like I get the point of it is to prevent the device from being insecure when the user doesn't put a password on it. However after a while the back of the router becomes basically unreadable and when you go online and search default admin password for x and their support page says that the password is different per router it's a little ridiculous. It is a much better approach to just force the password to be changed when you do the initial setup that way you can forget the admin password and factory reset it and still be able to access it where with current day routers if you reset it and you don't have that little piece of plastic on the back that says the admin password you're more or less SOL
Where do you keep your router? Lol my oldest router is still clearly legible
Mines behind our printer, it gets covered in dust and the adhesive on the sticker is starting to fail lol, thankfully it's not one that does that though so I'm not too worried.
