I have had a new (used) hub sent, it says its repaired mine, but its totally different and the wifi key and all are totally different. anyway to set up my own private password I'm trying to enter the hub 192.168.1 and its asking for an admin password, the problem is this isn't on the sticker ... how am i supposed to know this if its not on the hub...

@kskillin : Do you mean that the admin pwd is not written at all on the slider or that it is but it is wrong? If the latter then Factory Reset it.

 

If your devices are auto connecting by WiFi w/out supplying the WiFi pwd then the WiFi Security is set to None, which is not desirable. A Factory Reset should also fix this.

Also this hub has let all my devices on without (thankfully) having to enter the complex and massive wifi password that's printed on the hub..?? so in fact i likely don't need to change it as its not even asking for it....hmmmmmmm
