Im trying to add a new computer to my router and it is asking me for a network security key. What is the network security and were is it located?
The network security key is set by the user when the home network is setup. It prevents people from stealing your wireless signal. If you have forgot it, or didn't set it up but it still is asking for one, you can unplug and hit the reset button on your router and delete the home network you have on your main computer. From there, just run the network setup wizard from the main pc and set your network security key to something you can remember as well as write it down. Then you should be set to add any other pc to your home network as long as when you try to connect, you put the correct key in.

Hi Labormurse,
Got to start>run>Type in CMD. In the black box that opens, type in IPCONFIG. (Assuming you are using XP) You will see a list of information, and look for the Gateway IP, Probley something like 192.168.x.x. Type that into your Internet Explorer address bar, and that should open a window asking for a user name and passwrod. Put in that info, from your manual, and you can access your router. If that don't work, you can set your router to defaults, by finding the reset button, usually a small hole in front or back, and pressing the reset switch it a pen tip, or paperclip.
Bad newes is, you will have to start from scratch if you reset to defaults, Good Luck,

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).

Logon to your router from your computer using your browser and going to http://192.168.1.2/. If it wants a username, the default username is blank and the default password is either blank or "password".
The Belkin management tool will come up. From there, go into your security and look to see if your passphrase is visible. If it is, you're good to go. If not, you can change it on that page save it and close out.
Don't forget to change the passphrase on any wireless devices you are using connected to the Belkin wireless router.
