That's why these days routers come secured by default.
ETA: the routers Wi-Fi password will be case sensitive. So make sure the capital letters and the lower case letters are exactly the same as the password shown on the bottom of the router.”

Thanks.
That's presumably why most of them have a little lock against them.
Oddly enough the only one that was unsecured, was BT, but the signal was never strong enough to connect anyway.
Now that I'm in it, it's a fantastic device.
