On really old models it was admin / sky

 

These days it's admin / 'wifi key'

Re: Back of hub connection

The admin and wifi key didn't work?

 

Am I right in saying admin is lower case and wifi key has lower case and a space?..... As above?

Or 'wifi key'

 

Or is it 'wifikey'

'Wifi Key' as in the unique random combination printed on the label.

 

Government regulation now requires randomised passwords for internet connected devices such as routers
