      It’s one of those things that makes life for you and anyone using your wifi way easier and all it takes is 30s and a Google search if you aren’t the most tech literate. It’s like not putting your cart away at the grocery store, it’s not a big thing but it’s annoying and impolite.

        You can leave the password blank. Though that does mean anyone driving by your house might have their phone or whatever automatically connect to it. A few devices also don’t seem to like blank passwords (I think the Wii refused to connect that way).

        A simple password is fine. Keeps completely random people out, and devices will connect OK. Edge-based security is flawed, anyway.
