Avast says the PW is weak?
I tried adding an exclamation point to the PW first, and then to the Login ID
I tried a GRC High Security PW
Then, I clicked the Avast cells for ID and PW, and see that it's looking at the default Login (Admin) and PW (none) / Same with the Obihai (admin/admin)

Yes, and ?

Those are the default passwords . . . Why is it looking at those? . . . They are not the passwords I have entered to use
-
It is looking at both .... network name and conencting passord + device log in name and password
If anyone connect to your network, then they can log in to your device (router ) and change lots of stuff including default log in name and passoword so that you are not able to log in
you find default lists online, like this https://192-168-1-1ip.mobi/default-router-passwords-list/

As I understand it: the notification is just for the device - the router or Obihai
Network name and connecting password . . . for my ISP, Spectrum? PW for my modem? . . . an Arris SB6183 . . . WiFi Inspector does not show this, it's not in the list
. . . If anyone connect to your network, then they can log in to your device (router ) and change lots of stuff including default log in name and passoword so that you are not able to log in
I just tried the default Login and PW. As expected, I could not login, because I have previously changed the PW.
I still don't understand why it looks at the default passwords, and thinks I'm using them.

If you have changed your default router admin log in name / password (not WiFi name/password) and avast still say they are default then i guess it is a avast bug?

Now you're making me think
. . . this router, the . . . D-Link EBR-2310 . . . does not do Wi-Fi
. . . the Obihai . . . ObiTALK . . . Obi202 . . . does no do Wi-Fi . . . unless I plug in this adapter, which I don not have . . . https://amzn.com/B007R6F7PS
But, Avast Wi-Fi Inspector thinks they do, apparently, in error
-
found this online ... see attached screenshot
unless I plug in this adapter, which I don not have
Is there a program related to this device installed?
Anyway i dont use avast so have no idea

Software for the Obi 202 Wi-Fi adapter? . . . I don't know
Also plugged into the router, I have an . . . Apple, AirPort Extreme, Model A1408, 5th generation, June 21, 2011
. . . I (personally) installed no software for it
. . . So, I would think it's probably like that for the Obi 202 Wi-Fi adapter
