Is there any wireless router/switch that comes with the functionality of random pass codes??
AFAIK, there's none that I know of. The router/switch will only support authentication against some external system, via a protocol such as RADIUS, LDAP, TACACS+, etc, or looking up users in an internal database. The random / one-time-password functionality would be a feature of the external authentication system, not the router/switch. The router will only implement a method of requesting for credentials and looking them up against the authentication system. So for example, a Mikrotik router will have a captive portal (redirects you to a login page). Your username/passwd can be stored on the router itself (static password, not one-time). If you do have a RADIUS/TACACS+ backend that has a OTP plugin, then you can implement OTP and configure the Mikrotik to authenticate against that. Hope that's clearer.
