I filled in a passphrase in the router setup. I'm wondering what it protects? I don't need a password to get onto the Web, so what exactly what is that passphrase accomplishing?

It's encrypting the links between your router and the computers connected to it, thus keeping anyone who doesn't belong on the connection off it. In addition the encryption is protecting the traffic between your router and those computers, as well as between the computers themselves, from being intercepted by a third party.

Thank you.
