I'm at my parent's and the wifi is flaky but I can't even look at the router because for some reason it's password protected and I don't have the password

love 2 be at my parent's and burn through my mobile data in a day

@noiob My dad has a 64-character password for the wifi and only devices connected over ethernet, with specific MAC addresses can log in and configure things. it's... a bit absurd

@Kit I once spent over an hour trying to find out why random stuff didn't work on the Wii I was trying to jailbreak… until I found out that my dad had connected it to the guest wifi out of laziness (easier password) and the guest wifi on a Fritz!box apparently only allows http and some email protocols. When I told him, he told me it didn't. But miraculously, everything worked after switching to the normal one.
