Wi-Fi Inspector: Weak or default password found
« on: March 05, 2018, 08:30:07 AM »
Hi,

Wi-Fi Inspector claims that my Router has weak or default password - despite I've changed the password numerous times.

Any ideas?

Device: TP-Link TD-W8961N Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router

Thanks.

Anyone?

I'm still having this issue after changing the password throughout last week.  It looks like Wi Fi Inspector is buggy and doesn't mention the reason correctly.

Where can I file a bug report or send feedback to Avast team?

Be aware that there ar two different passwords:

your router WiFi network password

Your router Log in admin name and password

in your case it seems to be the last one, is this the one you have changed?

Yeah - I've changed the Router login password numerous times. Can't change the username though.

Also changed the Wi-Fi Passwords too.

Could be. But avast referring to the password only. You can see the screenshot in OP.

I've searched and contacted TP-Link Support too, and they said Username can't be changed.
