How do I get my password back if I change my mind?

Access your router settings (via a browser or app), select WPA2/WPA3 security, create a new password (at least 8 characters), and save your changes. All devices will be disconnected and will need to reconnect.

Will Smart TV and smart appliances work without a password?

Yes, but it's not secure. For smart devices, it's better to set up a separate network with a simple password (for example, 12345678) or use guest access with limited rights.

No, the password applies to the entire network. An alternative is MAC address filtering (allowing connections only to selected devices), but this is complicated to configure and doesn't provide complete security.

Why did my internet speed drop after removing my password?

Open networks are often targeted by "freeloading neighbors." Check the list of connected devices in your router's admin panel. Some providers also limit speeds for unsecured networks.
