Hey CF!
Here's a little problem for you to solve. I'm currently staying at a relative's place. She is very tech UNsavvy, and despite having a wifi network, does not know the key to it. Thankfully, the router has WPS configured, so all I had to do to connect my laptop and my Android smartphone to it was to push the button on the router. Great.
HOWEVER.
I also have a first generation iPad which DOES NOT work with WPS. I therefore need to find an alternative way to connect it to the WiFi. The way I see it, I can either:
1) Find the WPA key somehow, from the devices which ARE connected (I tried logging into the router's config page with the admin/1234 credentials, to no avail)
2) Share the wifi connection from my PC/smartphone to the iPad (if that's even feasible).
3) ??
Any help will be met with unmatched gratitude.
