Tether app issue going on for YEARS now.
In 2019 I used the Tether app to interact with my router from my phone. Until one day I upgraded my routers firmware. From that point on when trying to use my router from my phone. I sign into the tether app using the info I made and it works but then when I go to select the router it asks me for a PASSWORD that I never made and could never figure out.
I was never able to figure out what the problem was. There was only the password I made for the account and the password for the wifi itself. Neither of them worked along with admin. So what is this obnoxious password?
Now I am installing a booster and it got me curious about this stupid issue again. Apparently, some lucky people got this fixed because it was found that their passwords had been cut to 15 characters. How of course this info was found out was never mentioned. Worse, WHAT about those who had passwords that were never 15 or more characters to begin with?
I am not sure what pain resetting the router to factory would cause so I really want to avoid that. If I could just get that dumb password.
On a side note. It makes absolutely no sense to me that when on a PC I can use my TP cloud info to login and do anything I want to the router without being asked for the 2nd password. Which is why I never bothered to find an absolute fix. Yet when I am on my phone. I get asked for this mysterious 2nd password. I expected this to get sorted on its own by now.
