How do i find my wep key.?

Question

I'm trying to set up internet on my ps3, but i don't remember my wep key. I have a telus 2WIRE wireless router. Also, on my laptop, there is the wep key, but all the letters are in dots so i can't check it by using that.

Answer 1

on the bottom of your router.

Answer 2

Man, if you had a linux OS system its just sooooo much easier.

But since you dont... you need to log into your router... like from your computer... usually the IP of you router is something like 192.168.0.1 or maybe 192.168.1.1 or something similar... newer routers will say in the bottom of them, otherwise check your manual or google your router model # for login info. Login is usually "admin" and password is "1234" or maybe "pass". Again, if its not google for your router info.

Once in, you should be able to figure it out. Browse around your router info and look maybe under wi-fi or wireless setup stuff and look for the WEP key.

Answer 3

1) go to your command prompt and type "ipconfig"

2) after you typed ipconfig, find default gateway and type that into your browser's address bar.

3) that will direct you to the router's webpage. there find security and there find wireless security and there should be the wep key.

Answer 4

You have 2 options:

1) reset the router then reset up the SSID and WEP key for all devices.

2) You can access the router via its ip address and login/password. (if you have not accessed or changed it, default is usual admin and password) then you can change the WEP key or make a new one. If you dont know the router password then you need to reset, should be a button somewhere on the router.

Now side bar you need to upgrade from WEP you should have the ability to use other encryptions. WEP is the worst of all it easily cracked. MAC filtering is the best usually, but WPA and WPA2 will work for you as well. WEP really will work but we tend to get people to use other methods because it is not the best of encyrptions.
