• 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.

• I can't find my NETWORK SECURITY KEY.

  Why is - both diffitult to locate the NETWORK SECURITY KEY, so that I can use my printer on the network which is much safer to use WiFi.  The router shows all sorts of numbers, but none of them can be identified as a NETWORK SECURITY KEY.  Why is it so hard to find?  If it is not on the router what else I can do.  The router displays the NETWORK NAME, NETWORK PASSWORD, BUT this is the key to network security.  Why is this such a puzzle, and why not just the router shows the NETWORK SECURITY KEY?  Can someone help me with this?  Thank you.

  The network security key is the password used by the network to authenticate access.

  It is the pop-up window you see when you try to access a secure network.

  It is not a number, it is a set of characters - and WiFi, they are associated with the SSID of the network you are trying to access.

  On newer routers, there is usually a sticker (or a card that comes with the router) that contains the default SSID and password.

  There is no way that we can find for you, because it is internal to your router.

• How can I find my network security key / password of my Internet

  My family ALWAYS come and they bring their laptop. I already have a network in place, but I forgot my password/security key, and we all hurt to spot on my computer... Please help

  (Note: this will work only on a computer that is connected to your wireless network.)
  Here's a Win7 PC; Vista will be very similar, though)

  Network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center
  Click on 'manage wireless networks' in the left pane. see the list of all wireless networks to which you are connected.
  Locate your network wireless in the list.  Right-click > properties.  Click the Security tab.  Check the "Show characters", and that Windows displays the network key (as well as the type of security & encryption type).  {For security reasons, you can not view the key to a network that you are not currently logged.}

  where can I find my network administrator? Ronaldtmj

  Hello, ronaldtmc,

  Your network administrator is the person who manages your network. In an office environment, this person would be a member of the computer SCIENCE staff. If you manage your own network (for example at home), then you are the network administrator.

  I hope this helps,
