Set wep now cant login to enternet or router, and no lights

I have a netgear wireless g router, not sure of model number right now but I looks like the ones in the pictures, the one with the blue dome on top that's lights up blue when on, anyways it was runnning fine unsecured, then i decided to change it with a wep sucurity and I made it so the ssid wasnte broadcasted, after I changed it and hit enter, it lost enternet connection, I tried loging back in and it wouldn't let me, I keep putting the passphrase I set, but it won't let me in and I don't know the passkey cause I figured all I need was the phrase, and the key was generated, I couldn't get back on line so I reset the router, held rest for 10 seconds, unplugged it, everything, still can't get online, also the blue led dome light won't turn on anymore, and the power light is green and the enternet light is green, but the wireless light won't light up at all, what do I need to do to get my router working again, when I type in the passphrase it says that the passpharse has to have so many cap sensative and so many hexadecimals, but it won't login in and I try to log back in to the router and it won't cause it says there's no coonection, what can I do to fix, thanks for the help?

Anyone can use my internet how do i set up security code i have netgear wireless 150 wnr1000 router how do i fix this everyone using my enternet

You need to configure your router with wireless encryption.

Connect a LAN cable from the Netgear to the LAN port on your computer, open a browser and enter the Netgear configuration URL -
http://192.168.0.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = password You can now change the default admin password and configure the wireless settings.
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2 encryption to protect your wireless network and Internet from unauthorized access.
Now apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.
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

WEP key

Hello.
Do you need the wireless password or the router login password?
If you need
wireless password(security key like WEP or WPA) or you would like to setup wireless security for your Netgear router, access the router setup page by typing http://www.routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1(sometimes it's http://192.168.0.1) in the address field of your browser and then press Enter.
Enter
admin for the router user name and your password (or the default, password).

This image is the login window to access the router's setup page.

11_28_2011_1_09_53_am.png

After logging in. Look at the main menu on the left, click on Wireless Settings, from there you can check the Wireless Key(For WEP you need Key 1,2,3 or 4 whichever is selected... For WPA you need passphrase) or you can setup wireless security from there if you haven't done so.


This image is the router's setup page and this is where you can configure the router and check some settings like Wireless security or password.

**If by chance you are unable to access the router's login or setup page by using the default username &password(admin, password) and you totally have forgotten it, you need to reset the router to factory or default settings then you have to setup the router again.

**To reset the router to default settings:1. Unplug all the cables attached to it except the power cord.
- Make sure the router is plugged into the power outlet, then hold down the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds using a paper clip or a pen. You should see the lights flicker momentarily on the front panel of the router.
2. Once the lights are stable, connect 1 computer or laptop directly to the back of the router(Ethernet/LAN ports usually they are labelled by numbers and have the same color, just pick one). If you pick number 1, check the corresponding light indicator at the front panel of the router, make sure light 1 is also lit up if not choose another port at the back of the router.3. Setup and configure the router again.



~~Hope this helps~~

Cant find wep key

You will need to access the router (via its local web address using a suitable web browser) Once you have provided the login information, surf to the wireless security section and either document the WEP key (if not encrypted) or change it. Understand that changing the WEP key will invalidate any else's access, so be sure to share the change. The WEP key may have to be done in HEX, meaning that it must be done with the numerals 0-9 and ONLY the letters A-F. The ket must also be a specific length, usually 13 or 26 characters depending on the requirements of the router.

Cant remember the wep on my net gear wireless router

Use a computer that is working with the router, wired or wireless.. Then login to http://192.168.1.1 or http://routerlogin.net

enter admin for username and password for password. Once logged in, click Wireles settings on the left panel.
You will see Security option, this should show WEP if the router is really using WEP, then you will see key 1,2,3,4 boxes underneath, whichever is selected and has the series of characters, that series of characters is youe WEP key. Make sure not change any settings as it will affect other wireless devices currently connected.

How do you change the password on the router?

Which one? The login password to the router (admin/password) is changed under MAINTENANCE Set Password.

The Wireless password is changed under SETUP Wireless Settings.
In that one, if you're using WEP, you get to see the 10 or 26 HEX character key. Be sure to read the Wireless help screen on the right side of the page.

Need to know how get wepnumbers of my netgear router

Connect to the router with an ethernet cable. Open your web browser and type in 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (It's one of those I'm sure)
The router will ask you for the login and password. Unless they have been changed they will be admin and password.
Look down the left hand side of the page and you should see a link to the wireless set-up section. The WEP settings will all be there.
