• How can I find my "network security key?

  Hello world...

  I am a netbook which is preloaded with windows 7 starter. My PC is 64-bit windows vista ultimate. I have an ADSL router that is connected to the computer with a network cable (yellow) - internet works fine.

  I'm trying to connect my netbook to the wireless router, and the netbook from asking a "network security key.

  Where exactly can I find it? I can't find that whatever this is named network security key to my router settings...

  Thank you very much!!

  The wireless security key is in the settings of your router. See below for how to configure a wireless network in complete safety. It will also cover where you will find these settings.

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

  As long as you have not changed the administrative password on the actual router, not the wireless password, this problem has a solution. What you need to do is to connect your computer to your router via an ethernet cable. Make sure that your LAN connection is enabled. After connection, open IE or whatever browser your prefer. Log on to your router using the IP address in the URL "192.168.0.1" line By default, administrative logon information are ID: "admin" and password: "password". From there, you have access to options to change your wireless security settings.

• Unable to connect my laptop to the new wireless printer - error "installation failed" after entering my password/security key (WPA)

  I just bought an Epson printer. I went through the installation process on my laptop but I get the "Failed to install" error message after entering my password/security key (WPA). I am with BT and my home hub I have "Wireless Key", "PIN WPS wireless" and "Admin password" - which is it? I tried all three and not joy. Help!

  It is almost certainly looking for your "wireless key".

  The WPS Pin is only used if the printer supports "Wi - Fi Protected Setup" - which it probably isn't, and the "Admin" password is used to access your BT home hub to make configuration changes.

  In addition to identifying what wireless Epson printer you have, you can either

  • b changes to the configuration of the printer from a screen on the front or
  • (b) to connect to the printer by an Ethernet cable or
  • (c) to connect to the printer with a USB cable?

  Hello

  Check with the router manufacturer support, their books online and ask in their forums (if any).
  Most have excellent online help. Reset the router and write down the password and paste
  on the bottom of the router or in another safe place.

  I hope this helps.

• Security key for finding wireless router

  I have a router D - Link DIR-615 in my apartment and it works fine. My problem is that I can not connect with anything other than my laptop because the security key that I have written down so that it does not work.

  I wrote the key, when I set up the network, but when I tried to use it to connect my Wii or your laptop the prompt, I can't make it work. I don't know if I wrote it wrongly or am I misreading 2 as a z or an o as a 0, or it is the case or what.

  I tried to go in the part 'Manage wireless networks' network and sharing Center and looking at security settings, but the key is hidden (appears as just a row of dots) and Windows will not let me check the "show characters". How to get around this problem and check the box so I can see my security key.

  Connect to the configuration utility of the D-Link from a computer connected through an ethernet cable. Review the configuration settings of the wireless network and to see the level of encryption and password. Write it down. This is general information about the implementation of a wireless network in complete safety. The instructions are written for a Linksys router, but the method is the same for your D-Link. Refer to the manual of the D-Link if necessary.

  Hi oms1957

  I recommend you try these methods

  Method 1:

  Reset the wireless network and make sure that you set the level of security to WPA2-Personal, as it is recommended.

  Here are some links that will help you set up the wireless network

  What are the different wireless network security methods?

  Method 2:

  If this does not clear if installed third-party antivirus and then try to connect. If the problem is resolved, you have to uninstall the antivirus and reinstall back or check with the settings.

  Method 3:

  Cycle power to the router and check if this is useful.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
