Wi-fi 4 (802.11n) Password
Gwenda Arguin
In my testing, I am not able to view passwords when pushed out via a configuration profile - I am only able to view passwords for wireless networks where the password was typed in on the device itself.
iOS/iPadOS 16 added the method to see passwords. Originally in the first 2 betas, it would allow users to show username/password of Configuration Profiles. Fortunately we were able to get Apple to block the view for Configuration Profiles only. There is no mdm setting to block all viewing of the passwords. If that's needed, you'll need to open a ticket with Apple and see if they will release it in a future version.

A third option is the full firmware default reset from the recessed button on the back of the device. This will reset your Wi-Fi SSIDs and password to those printed on the label on the back of the device and all of your other settings as well.
Have powered off/on the router and printer, have Reset all on printer. The router is a cable modem from our internet provider, CODA-4582-RES, I can access the modem setup. All computers, tablets, and phones have no trouble connecting, but they all ask for a password. Can connect from Windows PC via USB cable.
When you said that it "keeps saying that you have the wrong password", do you mean the SimpliSafe app? That error might also pop up even if you did have the correct password, but if your WiFi router rejected the connection for some reason.
Did you happen to upgrade your WiFi router recently, or make changes to any of the settings? There's something about the router itself that is preventing the connection, which is why the extender is doing better.
That's why we recommend creating a secondary or guest WiFi network on your router, to maybe bypass any incompatibilities. I'd also suggest setting the security to WPA2 or WPA3 Mixed Mode, and locking to 2.4GHz if possible. Please consult your WiFi router's manufacturer on how to do that, because it differs between models.
But if you've already tried the above, the next step may be a replacement camera (in case there's a hardware issue that's the cause). Our Support team can help with that; you can tell them you've already done the troubleshooting here as well.
If you haven't already, I would recommend resetting the SimpliCam by pressing and holding the button on the top of the camera for 20 seconds. Once the button is released, it should begin to flash white - prompting you to set it up in the SimpliSafe mobile app again.
My IT manager is still not very keen to hand out the guest Wi Fi password to anyone; when he does it is either handed out on a scrap of paper (which must be swallowed after use) or IT staff visit the guest ask them to hand over their device input the password.
To me this is very unprofessional and I would like to present an alternative to my manager for the password. How do you go about managing/rotating your guest passwords? What are your opinions on keeping the password under the official secrets act? Do you grant your users guest Wi Fi access at specific times?
This was one of the reasons that I used the Bluesocket system. It allows individual WiFi accounts, with specific password, that can be time limited, restricted to days, hours etc. It worked really well, was easy to use and administer, and provided a good level of security.
We have production wireless and guest wireless here. Personal devices that might need someone to enter the password go on the guest network the password for which is available on a couple table placards in meeting rooms and the employee cafeteria etc.
There it is. If there is a public guest network why do they need to get on the corporate network? If there is a need to get on the corporate network then you should personally enter the credentials when they first connect and set it to remember.
Instead, you use RADIUS and authenticate against Active Directory. If you want to keep personal devices of the corporate LAN, add a certificate requirement. All business-class wireless equipment (as well as some SOHO-class kit) supports this.
In our case, we have three checks: Certificate must be present, user account must be in the proper group, and the user must enter their network credentials. For our BYOD network, we drop the certificate requirement.
Try to fully read something before you digest and respond and waste yours and others times. Wyze should implement a simple coding update to where you can edit network on an existing device. Something I feel compelled to add in any reviews of the devices I otherwise LOVE
Also keep in mind EVERY other smart device I own that is not Wyze branded all you have to do is go into settings and change the network settings, not go through the setup which takes a half hour with all my Wyze products. There is absolutely no reason it is not a simple click and type in new password except the company having a simple oversight of this or blatant neglect of ease of use which only hurts the company you are so vehemently defending.
I think it has to do with Wyze not having Bluetooth or fallback SSID broadcasting. So with your previous Wi-Fi down, the camera is simply incommunicated. I can only think about the cam communicating via sound or image recognition with the app to change the wifi. I can see why Wyze devs would pass on that hassle.
Agree with @joeyp on the disappointment with how Wyze implements this. @Tirititito is spot on. With the way this is implemented - what it actually does is create security lapses by preventing people from changing their WIFI password to accommodate good security practices.
My scenario is worst - I have those Wyze V2 mounted on ceilings, behind false walls, in weatherproof enclosures, etc, in hard-to-reach places. Changing WIFI passwords would mean that I have to climb, hack as I HAVE TO also press the damn hard-to-reach setup button !!! What they think is more secure actually created more security lapses, unfortunately.
How do I stop my child from seeing our wi-fi password on his iPhone? If he taps on it the password is visible. So now I have had to turn off his wi-fi and his phone is using a lot of data. I have screen time set up for him, but don't know how to use it to hide the wi-fi password. I have to put in a passcode to see our wi-fi password on my iPhone, but not his. Mine is an iPhone 11. His is an iPhone SE.
Hi! I work at a small school system in the IT department and since it's summer, we're trying to re-tool some processes that there have been issues with. We use a Meraki network that connects all of our school locations, and among others, we have a student wi-fi and a teacher wi-fi connection. The teachers have been prone to writing their wi-fi connection password down on whiteboards and leaving it where students are getting access to it. Some admins are asking us to find a way to integrate the password/credentials right into the SSID. I was thinking of a rough idea where we could set the teacher SSID up with a splash page requiring a one-time login with their credentials, but I think I would need to know ALL their credentials in advance, which might be tricky. Can anyone recommend an alternate method that would work with a (hopeful) minimum of fuss? Thanks in advance.
They are! But most teachers have their laptops with them and trying to get them to come in to us before the school year starts would be pretty much impossible. We would have to get hands on all those devices, correct? Thanks.
We do use AzureAD. I would love to pursue that, but my director is telling me that not all Teacher laptops have been Azure joined, and the Teachers currently have them out in the wild. So asking/wanting all Teachers to come in for us to get our hands on those laptops would be extremely difficult.
They don't need to be Azure AD joined for the Splash Access [education] system to work. What happens is they log into a portal (once) using their Azure AD credentials, and then that portal lets them add their devices to the network. It is intended to be a self-enrollment system.
Just wanted to check one thing with you guys: is it possible to change the password for the extended network, the same way you can change the ssid?
I live in a shared house, and since I bought it for myself I figured I'll use it for myself too.
The one way you can actually have the extender have its own SSID and password is to set it up as an access point( -link.com/us/support/faq/1401/), but that will require an Ethernet cable from the router to the extender.
@Tony oh right, fair enough. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't plug it in on ethernet as my room is directly opposite in the house. But I'll either allow only mac address or hide said. Thanks again
I recently changed my wifi password. WHAT A MISTAKE. Something that must be done by thousands of people regularly shouldn't be a complicated issue for Sonos products should it? Every other system and device I own was able to accommodate the change easily. However, sonos products wasted 4+ hours of my life that I will never get back. Self troubleshooting, reading online forums, sonos' own app provided no help. It took one hour just speaking with a customer service agent and physically moving my sonos equipment across the house to hardwire it via the ethernet first, then reconfigure the wifi. Absolute joke.
