The button is not mentioned in the instructions or on the app. How does this work that something can connect to my WiFi without a password?
Thanks.

Pushing the button on the front of the device sends a signal to your router--a virtual "Let me in!" You're supposed to also push the same button on your router, making it "open" to accepting that signal.
Sounds like you've got something on your router protocols set up as always broadcasting open. That's the first thing I'd look at.
