I WANT TO CHANGE MY WIFI KEY
The most effective fix when you do not know for certain the error is to reset the router and start fresh.<br />To do a reset:<br />There is a small button on the back of the router (near the power cord) press and hold it for 60 seconds.<br />Then you can access it with a wire connected PC at 192.168.1.1<br />The log-in name will be blank and the password will be admin.<br />Good luck, and happy surfing.<br /><br />
Note:
Resetting
the router to the factory defaults will delete any changes you have
made to the router, including any security settings. This should be used
as a last resort.
The first method involves simply pressing
a button located on the back of the router. The image below (courtesy
of Linksys) shows where the button is located.

To reset your router, use the following steps:
This can be caused by basic wireless settings of the router or the old firmware of the device especially if you have wrt54g version 5/6 router. To check these settings, follow these steps:
Please check the following:
Note : Make sure as well the wireless switch of your laptop is on.
1. Using a computer that is plugged into the router directly with a network cable, open a web browser.
2. In the "Address Bar" type http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
3.
A box should appear asking for a "User Name" and a "Password". Leave
the "User Name" field empty, and type your WRT54G router password into
the "Password" field (the default "Password" is admin) and click the OK button or press [Enter].
4. The WRT54G "Setup" page should now appear. Click onto the Wireless page.
5. When the "Wireless" page loads, you should be on the Basic Wireless Settings sub-section.
6. Look for the "Wireless Channel" option. The default channel is set to "6 - 2.437GHz". Change it to either "1 - 2.412GHz", or "11 - 2.462GHz".
7. Click on the Save Settings button toward the bottom of the page to save changes. Click Continue when prompted to reload the page.
8.
The channel of your WRT54G has now been changed. Restart your wireless
computers so that they can automatically connect using the new channel.
9.
If you still experiencing interference using channels 1, 6, or 11, try
switching the router to the other channels as well (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9,
10) and find one that captures a good connection.
