I was having the same problem with my computer in reference to finding the wep key through the router. My setting were changed on my computer at work and then the computer would no longer work on my home network. I had to find the wep key.
1.) using the internet explorer (not AOl or MSN or..)but the internet explorer that your computer came with.
2.) enter "192.168.1.1" in the website address field. do NOT use www in front.
3.) this will bring you to a linksys website.
4.) click on wireless
5.) then wireless security
6.) then you will see the page with the wep key listed.
7.) use the first wep key listed.

thought this might help you

FYI...

...that address is not for a website, but the gateway to your wireless router. It is quite a common address, but some brands have a different one, and you will find then that it does not work...

I can't find it

In Reply to: (NT) here is how i did it. by bouellette

I need to configure the WEP on my Nintendo DS so I can play online with it, but I'm not sure how to locate it, so I followed that one guy's instructions.

-I went to 192.168.1.1

-I clicked "Wireless" then "Wirless Security" like u said.

-After I clicked on "Wireless Security" I saw "Security mode disabled" in a drop down box.

-I clicked on the drop down box, and I saw "WEP" at the very bottom.

-After I clicked that, all these things appeard like "Default Transmit Key" "WEP encryption" "Passphrase:" and "Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4" I have no idea wat to do here. I don't see the WEP here, unless is it the thing that says "WEP encryption: 64 bits 10 hex digits"?

Plz help, I don't get this lol...

Can't Configyre WEP on Thinkpad

by wkorbe - 6/10/09 9:49 PM

In Reply to: I can't find it by Mike_Nintendo

I have the exact same problem on my Thinkpad R50 running XP with built-in wireless that you described. All my other PCs, Tivo, etc work just fine by entering a WEP password, but the Thinkpat only connects to unsecured networks and I cannot fine a way to enter the WEP password (seem slike that method is NOT support). Any thoughts??

Your suggestions worked perfectly - just a side note: Username (Leave blank); Password - admin.

I'll be darned - found out the information I needed to attach the Nintendo Wii to the router. Now my kids are challenging kids around the world and neighborhood.

As we say in Hawaii, "Mahalo" (Thank You so Much).

there are a few problems with how you do it since not everyone has your type of wi-fi so here (in detail) is how anyone can do it:

1) Click "Start" then "Run" type in "CMD" (without the "")
2) a black window with some writing should open up. without clicking anything on your mouse or anything type in "ipconfig" without ""
3) on a vista you might get paragraphs and paragraphs of writing just scroll up (or dwn if you r at the top of the page) and find "default gateway" there should be a number beside it that will most likely be 192.168 followed by a few more number.
on an xp you will get three things
IP adress
Gateway
Subnet
4) open up a browser (i used either mozilla or interent but its up to you) and type in your gate way key (the one starting with 192.168)
5) a pop up will come up and ask you for your username and password (if not skip a few steps)
5) at the name of the pop-up it should say that _____ is requesting a password google whatever is in that blank and u wil find out what your wireless interent provider is (could be linksys could be D-Link)
6) once you have found out what your provider is then google _______ default passwords (the ______ is where you write the provider)
7) found out which password and username you need and typoe it into your pop-up
8) you will be brought to a page where there should be an option "wireless" somewhere. click it
9) on a scroll menu click on WEP (or WPA if that is the key you r looking for)
10) with WEP there should be a number of keys. take first one and write it down so you don't forget it
11) with WPA use the "server 1" IP for your key

and there anyone can follow these steps

Username and password issue?

by GothicProphet - 5/1/08 10:26 PM

In Reply to: Have Linksys router Model WRT54G, and i lost my wep key by ottesen07

It really depends on the make and model of the router, but for most Linksys models the Username is blank and the password is admin

Finding wep key

by rajaddun - 11/30/08 6:13 PM

In Reply to: Have Linksys router Model WRT54G, and i lost my wep key by ottesen07

Everything posted thus far seems to run true...the main thing is finding your router's username and password. Which seems to be just a little different for each case. I tried all of the above before finally searching for the company who manufactured my modem (which happen to be actiontec or something) for the factory setting username and password. this combo worked for me
username: admin
password: password

another offered was...
username: admin
password: (leave field blank)

wep key

by leebaker - 12/20/08 8:57 PM

In Reply to: Linksys Wep Key by dclutter

I was given a wrt54g router I pushed the reset button.
entered the numbers given in other post then I entered admin as the password it showed the wep address.

Later since I didn't have the install disk I went to linksys web site down loaded the router install programs for vista.

It allowed me to use wap as the security level I made up my own wap key but you can use the install programs self generated one.

I also downloaded the update program so I would have the latest system

hope this helps.

Your not supposed to use a user-name. you should just have to type in password "admin". that's all there is to it.

lynksys username and password

by guitarrokerz - 10/24/09 11:36 AM

In Reply to: Have Linksys router Model WRT54G, and i lost my wep key by ottesen07

-not everyone has the same lynksys username and password
-unless you changed it then you should have a default password and username
-to find your default password google "lynksys default password"
-click on a link and start going but if you cant find one that works use this site:
http://compnetworking.about.com/od/routers/qt/linksys_passwds.htm

there that is how you find it
