Home wifi requires a password. This isn't 1990
It as a protocol does not and has never required a password. Nor have routers ever required it.
What router are you using that legit requires a password for access?
Every router in the last twenty years.
Are you guys being stupid on purpose?
"Am I wrong?
No, it is everyone else who is wrong."
You're the meme. No router has ever required it. Yes, it's an option. But how do you think open networks exist? Do you think that magically the router will know it's in a residence and suddenly require a password?
How do you explain the 30 million+ open networks on Wigle? https://wigle.net/stats
That's a cool website. I liked the wifi networks over time graph.
Whiteknighting a dishwasher is so cool
Show me where I said anything about a dishwasher. Or defended it in any way. Are you just pissed that you were wrong? That's pretty pathetic.
This entire post is about a dishwasher, genius.
I'm not talking about dishwashers, and only have ever mentioned wifi. I'm talking about how you're wrong that there can't be open networks. Don't change the subject just because you're wrong. You seem to have an issue with being incorrect. It's a sad look on you.
Good for you. I'm staying on topic and I'm talking about OPs dishwasher.
Someone has serious issues with being wrong. You were the first one to change the subject to say wifi required passwords.

From my bedroom, right this moment, there are four unsecured networks I can connect to, which I do not own or control.
This is not an uncommon scenario.
