    Wifi username and password issue


    There is no username required for connecting to Wifi, unless you are on a public wifi that uses Captive Portal.

    A private WiFi only needs SSID that is broadcast, and Passphrase entered for the computer to connect.

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    Wifi asking for username and password

    I have hunted for months to find an answer to this. I normally just turn the wifi router on and off hundreds of times but I can't be bothered anymore.

    Sometimes when I'm trying to connect to the wifi it asks for username and password. I don't know what it could mean though, I have tried username and password for the router (obviously), I have tried it with my username and password on the computer but nothing
    works. If anyone could help it would really be appreciated
