Recent updates may have expanded access to feature(s) discussed in this FAQ. Visit your product's support page, select the correct hardware version for your device and check either the Datasheet or the firmware section for the latest improvements added to your product.
Early versions of the TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router originally used a portion of the device’s MAC address as the default network password. There is a concern that using part of the product’s MAC address as the part of the default password may make the full password easier to guess.
As a matter of course, we always recommend that end-users create a unique SSID and password when using any TP-Link product. This recommendation is outlined in all product manuals and is incorporated into the quick setup process. If you are already using the TL-WR702N, or any other TP-Link product, please take a minute to make sure that you are using a secure, complex password of your own choosing. Detailed instructions for changing your password can be found here.
The MAC address password structure is currently only used for the TL-WR702N router and this practice will be amended in the next firmware version. After this transition, all TP-Link products will be shipped with default passwords that do not include any portion of the corresponding MAC address.
