Comp Networking walks one through a hard reset step by step. A hard reset may be required if one looses a administrator's password or a network key or they are having issues and all troubleshooting has failed.
no...
well, my friend. Everybody has there own different WEP key
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.
If its your router then you should have it. If you dont, you are going to have to login into the router and reset the WEP settings. If you have lost your router password aswell you will just have to reset the router and start from scratch.
The WEP key is the encryption code needed to access a wireless router.
It should be in wireless properties of the router under "Security". Some older router do not support WPA-PSK, check the manual to confirm. You must be logged on as a Root or administrator.
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.
This is a standard wireless router connection protocol. You would have to reset the router's default settings.
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 put a wep / wpa key on it. WEP is quite easy to break, so its advisable to use WPA. Just log into your router and then go to security and enable wpa. Reset the router and away you go. Then go to your laptop and then for the first login enter the key and then tell it to remember it.
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).
