Reset Belkin WEP key or WPA pass phrase

Network security key is a encryption key.

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, it needs the router'swireless settings configured ie SSID, WPA or WPA2 encryption key and also thewireless cards in all the laptops and or computers needs to be configured withthese router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktop computers cancommunicate with your wireless router.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If you want to secure the network you all you need to do is to access the router settings page and put a security either WEP, WPA or WPA2 and a Network Key or Passphrase.

To access the router page you need a working computer that is connected to the router. To access the router page just open a browser then type 192.168.2.1, the Default password is blank

Click on Security under Wireless, Select WEP, WPA or WPA2 and personalize a Security Key or Network Key (Passphrase). Security Key serves as a password on the network.

If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya.

The WEP encryption key (network key) is in your wireless router, without this key the wireless router won't allow the computer or laptop to connect to this wireless router.
I recommend you use WPA or WPA2 encryption, it is much stronger than WEP.
The WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption key is in your router's wireless settings. Log into your router and got to the wireless settings, you will need to get the SSID and the encryption key. Then go to your computer or laptop's wireless card and configure it with the router's SSID and encryption key, so it will then connect to the wireless router and the Internet.

You changed the network key.
Make sure that you will connect your computer to the router with the cable to change the wireless settings of the router.
Do not change the wireless settings of the router using the wireless computer.
open the set up page of the router and check the wireless settings.
Change the name of the wireless network also.
create a new network and try to connect to the new wireless network.]
I think you did not change the name of the network and your computer might be trying to connect to the same old network name with the old settings.

WEP or WPA are the types of wireless security. If your wireless network is secured then there will be a password on the network that is called as wireless network key or passphrase ( WEP or WPA key ). PIN number is different than WEP or WPA.
To check the wireless network key ( WEP / WPA) you will need to access the router settings page.
On that page , you will find all the settings of the router.

WEP

1. Connect a computer to any one of the four LAN ports of the Belkin wireless router.
2. Open your web browser and type the router IP address of the router (by default, the address is http://192.168.2.1.) in the address bar and press Enter.
3. Click Login on the top of the page to login to the router. By default the Password is left blank, click Submit.
4. Click Security under Wireless menu
5. Under Security, Select 64 bit WEP (or 128 bit WEP).
6. Select Key 1 and enter any 10 hexadecimal digits - any combination of 0-9, A-F (26 digits if you selected 128-bit as the encryption strength). You may also enter a pass phrase and have the router generate a key for you.
7. Apply the settings. Please write down the key – You will need it later to configure your wireless computers with the same key.

Configuring WPA-PSK Encryption:

1. Connect a computer to any one of the four LAN ports of the Belkin wireless router.
2. Open your web browser and type the router IP address of the router (by default, the address is http://192.168.2.1.) in the address bar and press Enter.
3. Click Login on the top of the page to login to the router. By default the Password is left blank, click Submit.
4. Click Security under Wireless menu.
5. Under Security Mode, select WPA/WPA2-personal (PSK)
6. Select WPA2-PSK as your Authentication
7. Select AES as the Encryption Technique.
8. Enter a word or group of characters in the Password (PSK) box. The Pre-Shared Key must be 8 to 63 characters in length.
   Note: The PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is case sensitive ("A" is different than "a")
9. Click Apply changes to save the settings

Hello...if you have logged into your router, you can find your network key by going to Wireless > Security on the menu.
If using WPA encryption, your network key is on this page: it will be labelled Pre-Shared Key or PSK according to the manual I have. Hope this helps.

(For info: the network key may also be known as the passphrase, WPA shared key, WEP key, WPA-PSK, authentication key, or security key).

WEP password is on botom or on the side of the router
