How to setup a WIFI that automatically change password daily?

The best suggestions are – Setting up the wireless router to WPA2, which have a password change that takes place every day, all you want to do is close the wireless at the end of every day and then change the password the next time you open your PC or you can use a Linux operating system where you have option of setting up captive portal.

You also have an option to buy a cheap WiFi access point so that you can open the configuration web page and change the WPA code every day.

These are the easy ways to change password every day.

How to setup a WIFI that automatically change password daily?

Hello Joseph,

It is possible for you to have a password that changes automatically for the WiFi on your laptop. You will need to use  nvram get wl_wpa_psk in order to get the current pass and nvram set wl_wpa_psk=password to set a new password.

• You will need to set it up as 7 different crons – one password for each day of the week.
• For Sunday: you can set is as cru a sunpass1 "* * * * 0 nvram set wl_wpa_psk=password1"
• For Monday, you cru a monpass2 "* * * * 1 nvram set wl_wpa_psk=password2"
• For Tuesday: set is as cru a tuespass3 "* * * * 2 nvram set wl_wpa_psk=password3"

Do that until you finish all days of the week.

Note that you might need to reboot your computer after doing the nvram set.

Regards,

Carl
