While I was there, I was reading something about "pairing", which one does if there is not a laptop or desktop present to plug the ethernet cord into. One plugs the power cord in and the coaxial cable in, and then starts the pairing process. Anyone know how this works?
Some WiFi routers have a button on them that you can push to pair. Say a guests comes to your home. You can push a button on your router which will let anyone in range connect to it, lets say in the next 30 seconds. Thus you do not have to give out the password or maybe better remember the password. This is not on all routers. I have a WiFi extender that has the button and it worked with all of my computers.
This might be a benefit to renters.
