How do i find the wep number for my router

Try going into the system then device manager uninstall the wifi driver. Reboot the pc and it should auto load the driver when getting back on the desktop. Then see if it ask for the WEP key
The wifi driver will say 802.g 111 or something so you know its not the 10/100 network.

Hello,
If you require the WEP key for the wireless network you will have to log in to the router interface and retrieve it. You can try the following steps..
1) Open internet explorer on any computer connected wired to the router. ( IF no computer is connected then connect your laptop through an Ethernet cable to the LAN slot on the router) 2) Delete everything from the address bar and type http://192.168.2.1 and hit enter. 3) Towards the left side under wireless click on security. 4) Now it will ask for the login password, do not type anything..just hit enter. 5) Now you will be in wireless security page. You should see Key 1, Key 2, Key 3 and Key 4. The check mark selected on either of the four with number or numbers and letters in it are the password. Make a note of it. 6) Now connect to the wireless network using the keys u made a note of.
Hope this helped.

The security key is the wireless router's encryption key.
Depending upon the wireless router's settings this encryption key could be the WEP or WPA or WPA2 or a passphrase. The encryption key can be generated using a phrase (passphrase) which generates a group of hexadecimal numbers.

The access code or password is the encryption key in your wireless router, without this key the wireless router won't allow the laptop/computer to connect to this wireless router.
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/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.

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.

If you can plug the laptop into the router via ethernet which will bypass the wireless sequrity and then log into the routers web configeration page and find the wep/wpa key.

With more information such as router model I could walk you though more but that should get you though.

Hope this helps

If your router configure as WEP or WAP it ask for password to connect for security.
For that connect your router to computer with ethernent cable to computer then access it with following link.
http://192.168.1.1
or
http://192.168.0.1
For belkin router default link is http://192.168.15.2

type user name as "admin" and password a s"admin" or blank or 'password"

then check in wi fi security if it is cinfigured as WEp or WAP you find its password in that but it is in * or # format so set new password so you can remember it.
then save settings and restart .
But if your router has no any security then you not need password to connect it.

You would have to login to the router and see what the encryption level is, i.e. WEP or WPA, then you should see a obscure key checkbox, uncheck it to see the plaintext of the passphase, if the checkbox is unchecked when you log in then you should be able to see exactly what they are... Hope this helps!

you do the security through the routers page, like if it's a linksys, it's 192.168.1.1, there you pull up the settings for the router, and under wireless set the type and the security code, you need to make all of them the sams type and code, like wep1, then, 1234567890, that's it, good luck

The WEP key is something you designate on your own router. IF you are trying to get into someone else's router you need to ask them for permission to have their WEP key. Otherwise you cant get in. If you forget your WEP key you can do a hard reset on the router to clear out the key.

There is a wirless icon in the botom right corner of the screen right click it and say view all wirless networks. lock for the one you own say conect it might ask for a WEP password which is located on the botom of the router that is if you did not change it from the defult.
