Ask the owner of the network.
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.
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.
The router will have an administration page, normally accessible with a browser, where you can reset the network key. I assume the key is for a wireless network, so you can access the router without a key by hooking up with cable.If you have lost the password for the administration page as well, the router can be reset to default settings with a tiny button somewhere on the box. (The reset button is normally so small that you need a pen or similar to push it.)To find the administration page and the default password, check the router documentation. You can normally find the details on internet when you have the router make and model, or you can contact support department of a computer store.
Network signals broadcast by a router can be encrypted, and one method of security is WEP, Wired Equivalent Privacy. Encrypted signals help make sure only authorised people are using the router - this is done by having a WEP key. If a device knows the same WEP key as the router, then it is able to unencrypt the signal. If someone does not have access to the WEP key, it means they are unable to use the router.
You may have to enter a password or WEP Key. You can find this on a card that came with the router. Or on the back of the router.
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.
well, my friend. Everybody has there own different WEP key
No The WEP key is the key used to encrypt the wireless traffic, so people can't sniff the data and see what your doing. No WEP key, no connect to the network. No router password, and you can't log into the router to modify the WEP key.

When choosing a router with advanced bit routing capabilities, key features to consider include the router's processing speed, memory capacity, number of ports, security features, and compatibility with network protocols. These features will determine the router's ability to efficiently route data packets and manage network traffic effectively.
You configure them when setting up your wireless router. The SSID is the 'name' it broadcasts, and the WEP key is the code a device needs to be able to unencrypt data sent by it. Once you've got the router set up, you can enter the SSID and WEP key into the DS, to allow it to connect to your router.
