WPA2 Key in plain site on Eircom modem config page?

    I just got a new modem from Eircom for my "Up To 24mbs" (which I have to wait till March 8th for) and I just noticed that my WPA2 Key is staring right at me on the config page.

    Is there any way to hide that or am I overestimating the dangers?

    It's probably ok. You have to be on your network to get to that page anyway.

    Best trying to set an admin password, to be safe.

    It's the same on my non-Eircom router and most I've used. Just make sure you setup a strong admin password for the router config,

    erm... if someone can see your WPA2 key in the config page of your router, then they already have access to your network and don't require it.
