Why does my Archer C7 1751 have two individual passwords? Is one of them used in place of the "admin" password and the other used to connect to a wireless device?

Are you referring to the default password printed on the label on the bottom of the router?

Thanks for replying!

 

I'm referring to the Current PIN in the WPS part of the TP-Link setup instructions, and the PSK Password in the Wireless Security part.

 

If I can connect (and I can) the router to my laptop by entering the Current PIN into the laptop network connection process and have the laptop access the internet, then why is there a separate PSK password?

Does anyone know the answer to my question?
