How do you disable your wep key?

Question

I enabled a WEP key long ago but now When I try to do anything wireless i cannot connect so how can I disable the WEP key

Answer 1

If you disable the WEP key, your wireless network will be wide open for anyone to connect to. If you live far from others, like way out in the country, that may be OK, but usually it's not a good idea.

Every wifi router I've ever seen has a reset button. Its typically a tiny hole that you poke a thin, unfolded paperclip into. Hold down the button for about 30 seconds or so while the device is powered up. This will reset everything back to factory defaults.

Using your browser, go to 192.168.1.0 (or whatever the router address is) and set a new WEP key. Use some string you can remember, or write it down and put it away somewhere safe.

Answer 2

Press the reset button on the back of the router.  This will reset everything to the defaults.  Then go back into the config. menus and reset the WEP key to SOMETHING YOU WILL REMEMBER!

It's OK to write it down.  If someone is ransacking your space looking for it, you have bigger problems.
