The WEP key is the encryption code needed to access a wireless router.
Protected wireless networks have a key to gain access to it. If your key does not match the key which is set in the router's settings, you get network security key mismatch error.
well, my friend. Everybody has there own different WEP key
The WEP key is the encryption code for your wireless router. It is sometimes written on your router itself, but will be stored on your computer so it can access the router itself. If you do not have a wireless router, then you are actually seeing someone else's wireless hotspot. If it is not a public one, then it's not something you are allowed to use - the WEP security is exactly there to keep unauthorised people off the network.
Check security setting for wireless network in your router settings. Some routers allow to see the key, some mask it with asterisks. If your router masks the key (in router settings), you have to put a new key, if you want to connect more computers.
You need to log on your router go to security settings for wireless network and change the key. Because of security concerns the key is shown as asterisks (little stars) only. So basically you cannot recover it. The easiest way just to enter a new key. Also look on the bottom of your router, some routers have the wep key labeled on the bottom, if you changed the key from the default, reset your router and it should reset to the default key.
The security key is the password for the wireless router. It'll show up if the wireless encryption is : WEP WPA-PSK (TKIP) WPA2-PSK(TKIP) WPA-PSK (AES) WPA2-PSK (AES).
find it online or a computer store
Click on the Wireless tab, then click on Wireless Security. Change Security Mode to WPA Personal. Type your password into WPA Shared Key and press Save Settings. As soon as you save these settings, the router will boot you off the wireless network. You will have to reconnect by supplying the password from WPA Shared K.
Usually you can. It your router works fine, you will be able to see your router in the list of available network connections, after that just double click on your router and you are good to go (if you have the security for wireless enabled, you will be asked to enter the key).
One of the first and most obvious ways to ensure this is to have security-enabled key on your wireless router. Typically, home users can have a reasonably good security with the AES-TKIP type encryption. Another way to ensure maximum security is to limit the number of computers that can access your wireless router. You can also ensure that only those computers with a particular hardware number can connect to your wireless router. Both these options are available in the admin section of the router's configuraton utility and its a matter of a couple of clicks to enable these features. Finally, a good way to ensure security is to make your wireless router non-broadcastable. You can enable this option again in the admin section. Once this option is enabled, only you know by what name is your router broadcasting your network and you can manually create a profile to connect with this network. Neighbouring users will not be able to see your wireless router when they search for "Available Wireless Networks."
Is there any computer online using the router. If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router. If yes then you can open the router set up page on that computer. router set up page is the page where you can check all the router settings. Try this web site: fixhomenetwork.com
