Whenever you go to a cafe, restaurant, or a friend’s house and you want to hop onto their WiFi, you will need to get their password which sometimes they themselves might have forgotten. In fact sometimes you could easily forget your own WiFi password when trying to setup a new device simply because you haven’t used it in a while.

Well the alternative is to remove the password, but this could encourage WiFi leeching from nearby users, so what else can you do? Well if you’d rather not bother with the hassle of passwords and want to keep the leeches out, perhaps the Keewifi router could be of interest to you.

Instead to connect to the WiFi network, it will rely on proximity meaning that all users need to do is hold their WiFi device near the Keewifi router and within seconds, users should be authorized to use the WiFi. Not only does this do away with the need for passwords, but it also prevents those not in your home, cafe, restaurant to steal your WiFi and eat your bandwidth.

It will support 802.11ac networks and has a button called the “Zen Button” which will resolve WiFi issues at a touch of a button, assuming of course the problem isn’t to do with your ISP. Its creators are also boasting that the software the Keewifi runs is a business-grade WiFi driver that promises a stable and reliable WiFi signal.
