Question : Change Wireless key

Hi there,

I have an interesting thought about wireless key.

I know changing them automatically might be tricky.

But I was wondering does a Wireless AP have a date parameter that you can add to the WPA key field.

So you have a wireless key as below.

connect@my@wireless@

Where the date changes but the fthe string before never changes.

Hence you will always know the wireless key password and it will change daily..

Does this make sense..

Hence in short, does Wireless AP allow you to use the Date parameter as a field to put in the wireless key.

I hope this makes sense.. I figure if the Wireless AP is like a system then it will hold the date value in some kind of variable.?

Answer : Change Wireless key

Typically no. The wireless key is a fixed value.

Maybe DD-WRT does, since it's open source. The feature could possibly be added in.

The problem is that if you changed the key automatically, every computer in your network would have to be re-setup again to use the new key. On many systems this involves going into third party wireless software and modifying "user profiles". A lot of software isn't smart enough to prompt the user for a key again, it just fails to connect.

It would be a feature that would cause nothing but headache for anyone who isn't particularely computer saavy :)
