How to connect a wireless laptop...missing network key

Question

I have a dell laptop, but I cannot connect it to its primary network. For my house I have a RCA wireless cable modem through Road Runner. When I go to the wireless connections on my laptop, I have a linksys signal that is only strong enough that I can use the laptop in the same room as the modem and nowhere else in the house. I also have the network e668, which always has a very strong signal, but unfortunately, it says I need the network key to connect it, which I have no idea what it is. Could you please help me?

Answer 1

I'm gonna guess those are your neighbors connections. Do you know the addy for the router(192.168.1.1)? look on the router for anything that says user name: password:

set up the router while plugged in, then go wireless, if your using windows and have a dell use this http://www.intel.com/network/connectivit...

Answer 2

If you don't have the network key and it is your router that is a linksys you can go to linksys dot com and retrieve the WEP. but by the sounds f it the password protected signal is coming from a neighboor or someone who lives close by with wireless internet.

Answer 3

Sounds like you are picking up a neighbors wireless signal.

You need to know the password to use the network.

If you are friendly with the owner of e668, ask him/her if you can login to his/her network and get the password from him/her.
