Have you run the setup wizard on the D-Link Wireless Router? Either via the the software cd provided, or by logging into the router and doing the basic setup?

An unconfigured D-Link router usually allows you to connect to it without requiring a wireless key. If it is asking for a password, it is possible that you have already specified one during the configuration of the router. Please make sure that you have correctly enter in the key you specified.

Are you trying to connect to the wireless network on a WINDOWS VISTA / 7 computer?

On the same window at the bottom you will find the option " I want to connect to the network or I want to enter the key manually". If you click on that option , it will ask you for the security key.
If you don't know the security key, then you will need to check the settings of the router. You will need to open the router set up page where you can check all the wireless settings of teh router. If you want, you can also find the PIN on the wireless settings page of the router.

If your PC is wired connected to the Router, try this

Click on START button
Click on Run ( you will find small window to enter command )
Type CMD ( or COMMAND ) and click OK button
( you will see black window on screen )
Type the command where the Cursor is blinking
IPCONFIG ( hit enter key )
From the list find DEFAULT GATEWAY
Default Gateway is IP address of Router

Open Internet Explorer
Enter the No. you find for Default gateway in the address bar ( without www or .com, just the no. ) - Click Go

You will find the Router page open
Incase if it ask you for username and password - type Username = Admin and Password = Password

Under Wireless settings / Advanced Wireless setting - you will find the WEP/WPA Key

Your WEP key is the key (or passcode) you entered when you (or someone) set up your wireless router. If you didn't set it you need to ask whoever set up your router.

Ok, to put a WEP key from our router. You need to configure it, by doing that you need ethernet cable (cat 5). You need to connect your pc to your router using cat5 cable. After you've done that, open your internet explorer/firefox ect., and enter your router's ip address (router ip address can be found in manual or at the back of your router). You will be ask for username and password, just key in if you have one, otherwise just enter the default (mostly, username:admin ; password: none/blank ; depends on manufacturer). After you've done that, go to SETUP menu, and go to Wireless setup you can enable WEP key there, just choose your options. Just try it, I hope it helps you.

try this... connect the laptop directly to the router using a cable. get into the router interface and disable the wep security. Once it is disabled try connecting the laptop. your computer will ask you that network is not secured and ask if you want to connect anyway. just connect your laptop without the WEP key, if it connects, just go ahead and enable the security again. hope this helps.
