Wifi password difficult math

Oh this little news caught my eyes. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2016/10/28/Restaurant-trolls-customers-with-complex-WiFi-password-equation/7471477682949/

Do I know the answer? NO. Cause I don't know what it is asking for.

But this is no math question here... It (merely) says the probability of getting m >= n/2 is.. the sum of the individual trials at 0.25 success rate... so? what are we trying to solve for to get the Wifi?

Take a look at another riddle like this, in words "The probability of getting more than or equal to 3 in a dice roll is the probability of getting a 3, or a 4 or a 5, or a 6". Just what's the password then? You don't need to get wifi in this place. Go to another place.
