For the sake of discussing our own router security, someone tell me if this is right...
- Your main passphrase is used to connect to the router.
- Using this passphrase, the router generates and leases a temporary password to the device. Lease time is based on your router's settings.
- Hacking software scans the air for signals on the target connection and is able to decipher the temp password for one of the devices. (and MAC address to get around MAC filtering if it is set up?)
- Access time is limited to only the time left on the lease, unless the router's hardware password is still the factory default and you can increase the lease time. If you don't have the hardware password, you have the remaining lease time for your random number/letter password guessing program to get it right. This is assuming the router is set to allow admin access through wifi connection and not just wired.
