Oh, I'm home for x-mas and I can't figure out how to connect to my parents wireless connection! It says I need a WEP or WPA key to access, and I can't find it! Does anyone know how or where I can find this key?????? Please, help a girl out or else it's going to be a LONG x-mas!:confused:

Thanx!:P

Yeah ask your parents for the password key, and if it's WPA key some wireless devices can't handle that.

eh?

you need to log onto one of the machines that has wifi enabled to the router, log onto the admin page of the router. And navigate to the wep page to view the wep
you can normally enter the admin page by typing the IP of the router into the internet explorer, it will be something like
http://192.168.2.1
http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.0.1

one of those is most likley

take that advice instead, that's accurate.

Also, if you couldn't find it out, or your parents don't know it (say a friend set it up or something) I'm fairly sure you could use a normal ethernet (Cat 5) cable and physically connect to the router (if it has wired ports, they usually do) There isn't usually any restrictions from there, just plug it in and go.

There are things like MAC address filtering and stuff, but i doubt that's enable or configured.
