Security key/passphrase for my router?

Question

I just got a new laptop and can't connect to my wireless network because I can't remember the security key/pass phrase thing. Is there any way to find this again? My router is a Linksys wireless-g broadband router. Thanks

Answer 1

log in to the router from a wired connection.  

http://192.168.1.1

password is  password no user name needed

look at the wireless settings  

Answer 2

Yes, just plug your laptop to the router with a cable. Go to your browser, and type 192.168.1.1

If that doesn't work, try 192.168.0.1

If the router asks for a username or password, try the following:

username:admin

password:admin

username:admin

password(blank)

username:admin

password:password

username:administrator

password:admin

All linksys routers have one of these set as a default, unless you changed it.(this is not your key, the key is used only for wireless)

Then go to the security tab, and change or retrieve your key.

Answer 3

Providing the actual model number of your Linksys router will get you a more acurate answer so you can correct your problem quicker.

Answer 4

Log into your router, the default username/password for linksys is admin/admin

Then just check Wireless security encryption
