Have wireless connection at home now, but wont wep page wont open... The same web page open at my work. Believe is the wireless connection,tried many things and is not getting results... anyone can help ?

If your laptop connects to wireless networks at home without any problems then there shouldn't be any issue with connecting to other networks when away from home.

In order to connect to a different network you would need to know both the network name (SSID) and the wireless access key (WEP or WPA) unless you are connecting to an 'Open' network.

With many 'Open' networks you would still normally have to open your web browser and visit the network provider website - this should happen automatically when you try to go to your home page. On the network provider page you may have to accept their terms & conditions or you may discover that the network is not free!

You should download and read manual pages covering Using the Configuration Menu that begins on page 10. Securing your wireless is detailed starting on page 12 for WEP, page 13 for WPA (only if you have a Radius Server - most likely not) and page 14 for WPA-PSK.

Nearly all devices support the older WEP encryption method. The downside is that it is easily defeated with software in under 10 minutes. A much better, more robust method is WPA-PSK. It can not be defeated (yet). If you choose WPA-PSK, any device that you connect wirelessly to this router MUST support WPA-PSK as well, otherwise it will NOT be able to connect.

I hope this helps and good luck. Please rate my reply, thanks.

a key code or Serial is usually on the router in the back or under its that white or yellow (sometimes other) sticker with a long number it will say serial or key-code there. it is sometimes also located on the manual

Hi,

If you want to connect to the router wirelessly you need to know the SSID or the Name of the Router (Nework Name) and the Network Key or Wep Key. The Default Wep Key is the 10 digit key located on the bottom sticker of the router. It is near the Bar Code. You can also personalize the Network Key by simly accessing the router. I've listed the steps on how to access the router incase the Network Key on the sticker is not working.

• Open a Web browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254; the 2Wire Home page opens.
• Click the Home Networking tab at the top of the 2Wire Home page.
• Click on Wireless Settings. then click EDIT SETTINGS located on the right panel.
• Here you will be able to fine the setting for your wireless connection
• You can change the SSID, Wireless Channel, Wireless Security, and Network Key
• Connect to your SSID by clicking on START then click on Connect To, Select your SSID then it will ask you for your Network Key. Type the Network Key then hit Connect

Rate me if this helps so i can help others

If its your wireless router, take 1 of 3 approaches:

1) forego the wireless connection and wie your PC to the router, ten log into the
router's system mgmt web page and view your WEP setting.
Use this WEP in your wireless link software.

HOW to reset a wireless router: press in the tiny "button" on the bottom.
This resets your router mgmt password to the default in the manual
and resets WEP security to OFF (the default).

Approach #2) reset your router, returning it to the default state, which
is no WEP protection. then, wirelessly login to your routers network
security web page, and set a WEP. Then use this WEP

Approach #3: reset your router, and leave WEP security disabled.
login wirelessly. WEP denies access to those without your
WEP password, it does not allow others to "see" what you're
doing on the internet (as many believe).

• Open a Web browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254; the 2Wire Home page opens.
• Click the Home Networking tab at the top of the 2Wire Home page.
• Click on Wireless Settings. then click EDIT SETTINGS located on the right panel.
• Here you will be able to fine the setting for your wireless connection
• You can change the SSID, Wireless Channel, Wireless Security, and Network Key

you will need to log into the administrative web page of your router and view the security settings.

I believe you are referring to the network key set on the Belkinrouter. Since you do not have the code, you will have to access yourrouter's web interface.

Let's begin with your router:

Using your working laptop, open Internet Explorer type 192.168.2.1 (default IP address of Belkin routers) press Enter. It will ask for a username and password - by default it'sadmin for both. If it does not accept admin, type in the username andpassword you set to your router when you installed it for the firsttime.

Once you open the setup page of the router, go to the Wireless tab ofthe router (located on the left side of the web interface. Look forSSID and WEP key or Network key (SSID is the name of your wireless network). Take note of the SSID and WEP keybecause you will need to set this on the XBOX console.

On the XBOX:

Open the dashboard settings - select Network Settings. Configure your XBOX to connect to your wireless network. When it ask for the network key - type in the code that you will see on the router's web interface.

Try the steps I mentioned, give us an update and I'll reply ASAP if you need further assistance.

Good luck and have a nice day!
