| Wireless security key Alright, I need some help. I just got a new laptop in mail today, and Im trying to get the wireless connected. The computer I'm on now is plugged into the modem that is also wireless. I lost the piece of paper that the security key was written on and need it to use the wireless with my laptop. Is there somewhere I can look on this computer or maybe right on the modem to find the security key? or do I have to call up my ISP and have them figure it out?

| what brand/model is the modem? You might be able to get the IP address and log into the router portion and get the key. Have you ever hooked up anything wireless that you would have changed the key? If not call up your ISP and find out what the default key is as that might be what you're looking for.

| Use the computer with the wired eithernet connection and log into the router. using your webbrowser type http://192.168.0.1, if there was no password set you should be able to look at the wireless settings from there. You can find the manual for the specific router/gateway you have, it will tell you how to get into the settings. If all else fails, you can hard reset the router to blank it out and re-set all the setting.(careful with this as you will need your dsl user/pass as well.) Welcome to Actiontec |
