Hello.

You just need to reset your router so you don't have to put any password anymore. To reset it, find the reset button, it is really small and you have to use a pin to be able to press it. Hold the reset button down for 10 seconds.

Depending on your router, it usually can be found here:

This leaves you with two options, either connect through a network cable then log into the router's web-based configuration page and get the security key from there, or, reset the router to its factory defaults (no security) via the reset button (you will lose all your previous configurations).

good luck

How do I enter WiFi security key AXESS TA2513-10WT 10-Inch Dual Core,Tablet Rockchip 3066 CPU with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

First of all, you must have the password which is set for your home WIFI. You can't do anything without it. Assuming you got the password, Go to tablet's Settings, turn on WIFI. When your WIFI router is displayed in the list, select it and you will be prompted for the password. Enter the password and click Connect. When you see Connected, it's done.

Cant find security key

If it's your router, you made the key. If it's not your router, stealing internet is a federal crime.
If you cannot remember the key then reset router to factory defaults.

Forgot my password

Reset the Linksys to default settings using the manual: http://homekb.cisco.com/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=1e97db4854604b0fb5cc8c0d74491e35_19584.xml&pid=96&slnid=3 Reconfigue the SSID and Security. You may want to write down the Security Key (password) for future use. A tattoo is optional, it's up to you.

Hello. my problem goes this way. we have WiFi router at home and we can connect our laptop with it so we can access internet easily. there's no problem about when last night i dont know why i even...

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, configure the router'swireless settings ie SSID, plus the WPAor WPA2 encryption key and then configure wireless cards in the laptops and orcomputers with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router.

Forgot password to WiFi How do I find out what it

To find the password/passphrase on the Linksys router, connect a PC to one of it's Ethernet ports, load a web browser, and go to the URL http://192.168.1.1/. This will take you to a popup box which asks you to enter a username and password to login to your router. On older models the username is left blank and the password is “admin”. On newer models, both the username and password is “admin”.

Once you get in to the router management tool, look for the security portion. There you will find the password or passphrase you are using for your WEP or WPA security encryption.

I forgot my password and now I cannot connect with

if you need to recover a used wifi key, its not possible from within windows as they are all encrypted when added, you need to search for a wifi key recovery software, there are some that recover and back up keys used on the machine, so i would start there :)

for example

No connection

the 2wire will most likely have wifi security setup so you cant connect to the net with your pc til you configure the wifi key into the pc. The key will most likely be on a sticker on the underneath of the router.
