How do i find my network key or create one for security?

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If to create a newKey (Passphrase) we can access the Wireless Settings Page of the router to obtain the information needed.

To access the router page you need a working computer that is connected to the router. To access your router you need to use a computer that is connected to it. Open a Browser then type 192.168.0.1 or http://routerlogin.net. The Default username is admin and the password is password. Password is case sensitive.

Go to the Wireless Tab select Wireless Security under the Security Mode you will see there Network Key (Wep/Wpa Key) or Passphrase. The Network Key serves as a password or security code on your network to make it secure. Network Key is case sensitive.

Don't forget to say thanks. Thanks for using Fixya

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. If you need the WEP key or Network Key you need to access the Wireless Settings Page.

To access the router page just open a browser then type 192.168.1.1, the Default username is blankand the password is admin. Go to the Wireless Tab select Wireless Security under the Security Mode you will see there Network Key or Wep Key. The Network Key or Wep Key serves as a password or security code on your network to make it secure.

The network key is the wireless router's encryption key.
The WEP or WPA or WPA2 key is configured in the router's wireless setting.

Go to the wireless settings to view the network (encryption) key or create a new encryption key.

To secure your wireless network from unauthorized access,please click on this link and follow my instructions :-http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security

It is used to create a secure network so other may not use your network to gain access to your computer or internet service. You should set this up.

• Run a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari or Google Chrome, and enter 192.168.1.254 in the URL Address text box
• For security purposes you must create a password for your Gateway. Enter a new password, repeat it, click the submit button
• You will ask to login again. Enter admin as your username and the newly created password
• Access the wireless settings page
• The Network Key is the Security or PIN that you need to connect wirelessly
• You can also personalize the Network Name (SSID) and the Network Key or PIN

Hi Friend,
U need to make your wireless network a security enabled network & don't share the wireless network key to a unreliable person.

Steps to create a security enabled wireless network:-

1> login to router setup page;bydefault ip address of belkin router is 192.168.0.1/192.168.2.1
2> Open a internet browser on a hardwired desktop/laptop connected to your router,clear the address bar completely and then type 192.168.0.1 or, 192.168.2.1<it depends on your model no of your router>
3> Go to Wireless Tab,changed the wireless network name(SSID)
4> Change the wireless network key as well;it will be good if you use WEP key if you old XP computer,otherwise use WPA-TKIP if you vista/win7 computers
5> Lastly on your computers,you have to seach wireless network name & give the wireless network key(for the very first time)

In case of any clarity feel free to contact belkin tech support

I assume that you have at least a PC or laptop with MS Windows XP SP2 or Vista running.

Use the create a network key for the security of your network. You must name the network and then create a password for it. Also use WEP if your OS has it. Goto 'Network/ Internet' from the Control Panel ........

You created it already thats why its asking for it

The security key is something you or whoever set up your network created unless your wireless router had one preset - check the router for a label which may contain the key. If you cannot find it please provide the router brand and model number.

• Launch Internet explorer from a computer that is wired to your Dynex router. On the address field type 192.168.2.1, press Enter.
• It may asks for password, if you have created a password to get into your router's page type it in. Otherwise, just leave it blank.
• Once you're in the User Interface of your router, click Wireless sectionfrom the menu. Then click on Security.
• There you will find the wireless security key or network key enabled in your router.

Hope this helps!
