How do you find your WAP passphrase

I need awap passphrase for my new wireless printer.  Where is the ist / how do I find it?

Hi Lynn,

It's the security of wireless encryption and it is located in the Security section of the configuration of your wireless router settings (even if it is probaby not displayed and requires that you know - a bit like a password).

Connect to your wireless router, check the configuration for the single SSID (your wireless connection name) and go to the section of security configuration to set security wireless to the router with a key (or to change the key, but you may need to know that to change to a new one - although you'll see below that I didn't need to know the old man) and if necessary (and it will) , type the key in the laptop / printer setup that it connects to the router. You will not be able to access this key if the computer after an entry - it's just to establish the ability to connect. There is an empty space where the key was seized, but it converts the real key to a string of points, so it cannot be read. If you change the key through the router, you can change the key through the computer by putting in new and once registered, it will work (but will return again to a chain, so you can not read or the other).

To configure the wireless router read his extended manual or go online and check on the site Web of the manufacturer, forums, and/or technical support. I am not quite sure, but if you can connect to the router configuration pages, you can probably change the key and I do not know if you will need to know the old key to set a new or not - it may work or it may not it can vary depending on the router. If your login details are forgotten, the router can be reset and reconfigured with the default settings - but you will need their help to do that besides the default settings usually use passwords and logins by default. Many use admin or administrator as the default user and admin or administrator name or password as default password. Once you have access, look for where the key is together and see if you can change it without knowing the old key (or in your case, just be able to see it) or knowledge how do them before you let them in off the line. In some cases, your ISP's technical support group can help you with this if they know and support this particular router.

It is usually open your browser and where you would normally type an address (of course everything connected to the network), instead of typing 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your default gateway which is in such a situation the address for the wireless router). If you do not know (and I've used just which is the most common failed) but can still access the network, and then click on start / all programs / accessories / right-click on command prompt and click Run as administrator then type IPCONFIG/all and enter and look for the wireless connection and the IP address of the router should be the default gateway (and often also the DNS server IP and the IP Address of the DHCP server as well). Use whatever it says in your browser to try to access the router. I just checked my (a Lynksys) and after that enter the IP address he gave me access after asking for a user name and password and, to my great surprise and you'll be happy to hear, when I went to the wireless security section, he showed me the security key (not a lot of points, but the actual key).

I hope this helps. I know the procedure in the works of the previous paragraph for me, as I did just to confirm, but I'm not sure what you have equipment or if it will work the same or if you know the user name and password to access the router configuration or how the key is set or displayed. Keep in mind that configure the computer for a wireless connection is typically more to just know the key but also to know the type of security used (for example the type of security and the encryption type and there may be many options for both and you don't want to be guessing). If this isn't the case, then if the router is still under warranty I would try the router support for help. If not, I would try the ISP technical support to aid first because he would be free, and they may be able to do. They could also mess things up to the point where you have no choice but to communicate with the technical support of the router group and to be unable to connect until it is resolved (or try their Web site technical support options or the support forums (which once occurred to me, but I had the Bill sent to the ISP because they were responsible for ruining it and was surprised that I never heard to)) New from these companies).

Good luck!
