finding security key or passphrase

[lloydipad]

If your using a linksys wireless G broadband router, you can try to access the setup page by going to 192.168.1.1.

If it ask you for an authentication, Username is blank and admin on the password. If you also have a working laptop running on windows 7 currently connected to the network, you can try to

(1.) open network and sharing center

(2.) Go to manage wireless networks

(3.) under network you can view and modify, right click on your network and go to properties

(4.) click on the security tab and it will show you the security type, encryption type and network key all in dots.

(5.) check the box that says " Show Characters and you'll see your password"

Hope this helps.

I have an old model wireless G serial #CGN60E8A7911 My son would of set it up in about 2004. The name is now Legend but I can't find the security key. I have guessed but so far no luck. We have a second home in a 3rd world country so buying a new one is not easy and expensive, can you help?

what is the model number of your router?

if you have a computer that is connected to the router, you may try accessing the setup page of the router by:

1. open internet explorer, type http://192.168.1.1 on the address bar

2. it should come up with a username and password dialog box, leave the username blank and type admin on the password

3. once you're in the setup page, click where it says wireless

4. once on wireless, there is a subtab called security below it. click on it and it will tell you the password or key that you would need.

Having trouble finding your wifi router security passcode? first step is look on side or bottom of router 2nd step - go to manufacturer's website for instructions for ex. I have a Belkin then go to www.belkin.com/still couldn't find passcode or what you found was inncorect to reconnect router. this is what I did to find mine.
go to start; control panel;network&sharing centers;(left hand side)man...age wireless networks; on this screen you should see two devices 1st set of computers icon is the stationary computer that receives its signals from AT&T; second set of computers icon is the wifi router which gets its signal from the stationary and is unsecured. right click on the 1st computer icons; properties;security;show characters and your network security key should show up. Here is a tip: I noticed that my network security password is the same as my login password at att.com. I feel silly after doing hours of research and the answer was there all the time. Good luck!hope this helps you and save you time and the frustration!
