WIRELESS CONNECTIONS - HOW TO ENTER WEP (or WPA) KEY AGAIN

Hello

I'm trying to connect my new laptop to my wireless network.  When I select it, it tries to connect, fails and a troubleshooting option comes up. I don't know why it doesn't connect - it's because I have not entered the WEP key and it is not just ask for it.  When I click on other available networks, it asks for the WEP key.  In XP and earlier versions of windows, if I remember correctly, you can enter into network connections via Control Panel and change the internet settings and add keys WEP etc.  I tried a left click on my wireless network - 'connect' option appears.  I tried to go to thenetwork and sharing Center and selecting manage wireless networks where no network is on the list.  I tried everything that was logical.  Even the smart phones have an option where you can "forget network" and then search again and re-enter security keys.

Now my question is, why didn't he ask the WEP key?  More importantly, how I have manually?  An instruction step by step would be appreciated.

Thank you.

[Note: I wrote the WEP key because that's what I use, I mean any kind of key, including WPA, etc.]

Hello

Log in to the router security turned off and make sure that the new laptop can not when the connection is open.

If it's the connection fail safety and make a new password.

If your hardware is compatible with WPA use it, WEP is not really fixed.

  • How can you find your wep or wpa key to go on the internet I have a linksky route

    on the internet, computer wife XP runng had no problem, then when it turned on today that it asks for the wep or wpa key and I don't know what it is.

    Hi WILLIAMBERGEN,

    In a wireless network, the WPA key is a password that protects the network against outside intrusion. If a wireless router is configured with WPA encryption, you need the WPA key for access to the network and to make changes to your network settings

    We will check if the following is useful.

    a. open your web browser. In the address bar, type http://192.168.1.1 and press to enter. It is the default IP of many wireless routers. If this does not load a web page, see the manual of your router to the IP address of the configuration.

    b. on the screen that appears, you will be asked to enter your username and password. If you do not know your user name and password, try the default name of the user and the password of your router.

    c. If you are unable to log in or search for the user name and password of your router, reset the router.

    d. in your router settings, look for a "safety" or "wireless security" tab open this tab and the WPA key should be displayed.

    You can contact the support of router for more information.

    As you can see it's not a fast connection wireless card or something like that.

    First of all, it would be very interesting to know the name of your unit, because I know if your laptop has a wireless card or if it of possible to update the device with the Mini-PCI Wireless card.

    If your laptop has a wireless card so you need activate the wireless antenna. The switch on the side of the unit, you should find. In addition, choose the wifi with the FN + F8 key combination.
    Well, now you have an AccesPoint in your neighborhood. If there isn't one available then you should see it. Go to network connections. Here, you must select the list of wireless network in network and refresh.

    But if you have a wireless card so you need to upgrade your laptop with the minPCI card, or the wireless USB stick or a PCMCIA wireless card

  • 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) to connect to the printer by an Ethernet cable or
    • (c) to connect to the printer with a USB cable?
  • How to find my WPA/WPA2 key for PS3 wireless connection?

    My needs for PS3 the WPA/WPA2-keys is my network PC or router.  Everything I tried failed.  I fear that my own PC network is assigned a new WPA key to my router and I can't find that key.  Is there a universal key by default?   Is this something I can unknowingly put in place myself?  Wouldn't be easier to just start a new home network and assign new keys?  Help, please!

    You will need to connect to your router and see if the security key is available for consultation.

    If this is not the case, as you say, it would be easier to reset the router to factory settings and start over.

  • How to hide my wireless connection personal House of the user of the computer on the outside

    I see from time to time by my window a vehicle that is parked outside using their computer. Someone told me that they can connect to the internet using my wireless signal. How can I hide the outside user I have a wireless connection?

    Hello Maria,.

    There are a few things you can do to make sure that you are safe.

    #1. Make sure that your wireless modem is protected using a personal code to access WEP or WPA2. This is done by going to the configuration of your modem and the establishment under the wireless tab / link / article. Of the modem user manual must be able to guide them in this process.

    #2. The other way is to disable the broadcasting network option in the modem. The only problem with this option, it is only people who are currently using the network can get on again.

    I recommend establishing a password on your wireless network and in this way people can see your broadcast network, but they will not be able to get on it, unless they have the password.

    Hope this helps,

    The WEP or WPA security key is stored on the page of the router. I suggest you to connect on the router's Web page and retrieve the key that could help connect the Xbox.

  • My wireless connection keeps cutting at some point. How can I fix?

    My wireless connection keeps cutting to 00:30 every night and comes back at 06:00. However it does not with other devices that have no problem with the internet during these periods. I have no problems with previous routers. When I lose the connection to 00:30, it is said that the wireless network is always available, but it cannot connect. If I press on diagnose and repair, it is then said that the security code is incorrect, then I put in the correct WPA code and he says he is still a problem and can not connect. Does anyone know how can I fix?

    It could be that at the end of the lease of the IP address of the router.

    Check the configuration of the router and make sure the IP lease is set to stay alive (or for an extended period of time).

    Hello

    MS group policy will do, no problem.

    If you create a new policy for your ad group (or use your default GP) and go to properties-> the Computer Configuration-> Windows settings-> security settings-> wireless-> Create New strategies-> follow all the next, next, next steps and then add the details of your WLAN.

    If you use a separate policy to the default policy, make sure that the policy options you check otherwise default group policy will stop the new parameters being the subject of a push to your ORGANIZATIONAL unit. The next time that the machine joins the domain, the settings will be drawn down and can connect to the WLAN.

    If you use a MS domain is the best way to do it (both with the help of your customer WZC) and no third party tools i.e. Intel etc.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to configure a printer wireless connected to Time Capsule?

    I just bought a printer HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M577z MFP Flow. It has capabilities of wireless printing. So far, I was able to connect wirelessly to one of my MacBook Pro computers, but only by having the printer create an Ad - hoc network that allows up to 5 devices to connect to the printer. But that of not what I want because every computer should manually disconnect the Wi - Fi network, connect to the Ad hoc network, the print job and then reconnect to the Wi - Fi network whenever a print job is required. It is very difficult and frustrating.

    What I would like is striking is the printer act like a network printer by wireless connection to my Time Capsule. I can't connect the printer to the USB port of time Capsule because they are far away from each other, and I don't want to use cables throughout my place. But I have no idea on how to do it because I can't find this option in the menu of the writer or configuration of the United Nations the HP utility software.

    I hope someone here could help me, please. Thank you!

    I have an Epson printer, so some of my experiences may or may not apply.

    I also have a time Capsule, and my printer and Time Capsule are far apart.

    My current configuration looks exactly what you are looking for: a wireless network provided by Time Capsule than all my Apple devices to a wireless connection, and my printer connects to the same wireless network.

    When I first bought the Epson printer, I needed to connect it to the Capsule of time via a USB port.  This sounds as if it were true for you as well.  So, for this very short period. I moved the printer via the USB port next to the printer, the connected Time Capsule, made the setup and then the printer recognized my standard wireless network.  I've returned to steady state, which I use now, with the printer and the far (actually on different floors) Time Capsule.
