How do i change the WEP key or even view it?

Tried for sooo long, im not good with computers so a little help would be appreciated. I have a Siemens Speedstream and i cannot get my Wii to connect to the router that is supposedly emiting a wireless network. I neeed to change the WEP key but cannot access the Router options!!!!! I have tried many different things and cannot find a solution. HELP!

    I've had several visits by the ISP Tech relating to Time Warner Internet Wireless Router "NETGEAR WGR614v6" which I use on both a Laptop and PC, both running WIN XP SP3. The last Technician set up a new WEP KEY that he said was more secure than my previous one. Since I'm in an Apartment Building, I find that there are up to twelve (12) other

    wireless networks in range of my WiFi. Recent Security hardware that I added indicates I get hacked everyday and I suspect that my WEP KEY has been compromised. I found out that the "cable guy" used a very simple, easy to guess, WEP KEY. How can I change it.



    Thank You

3. Under Simple Setup , go to Wireless Settings - take note of the SSID (this is the name of your wireless network). By default the SSID is "SpeedStream".

4. Still under Simple Setup , go to Wireless Encryption:


Option 1:
A. On the Simple Setup > Wireless Encryption screen, select Automatically.
B. Enter a password or password phrase.
C. Click Generate.
D. Take note of Key 1. This is the key that you will have to use on the Wii to connect wirelessly.
E. Save Settings and Continue.

Option 2:
1. On the Simple Setup | Wireless Encryption screen, select Manually.
2. Enter a password or password phrase.
3. In the bottom half of the screen, select #1.
4. Enter five hexadecimal keys; e.g., a number or letter in the range of 0-9 or A-F.
5. Click Enter to save settings and continue.

You're done with the router. Go to the wireless settings of your Wii and configure it to connect to your wireless network. For a step by step instruction go to this site:

Try cable connection, the X-Box will run better on online games anyway with cable connection.

WEP mode was obsolete years ago and represents a real security hazard.
Changing the router for a router with AES2 will enhance your security. Cable will make security better too.

How do i get my wep key

Option1:

You can find the WEP key of your Wireless network after login to the Router. The WEP key is saved in the Router. Check the User Guide of the Router for the instruction to login to your Router.

Option 2:

If you are using a Computer with your wireless network and if the Wireless Key (WEP key) is saved in the Computer than you can use any application like "Wireless Key Viewer" or SIW for view the saved WEP key in the Computer.


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wireless internet connection issues

Verify you have the correct WEP key, if its wrong it will look like it's connected but not do anything, you could aslo try to connect via a cable into your router to confirm it works, if it does then you have a WEP key issue, if it doesnt then you need to dig a little deeper.

Wep key

Use a computer that is currently connected to the router. Open Internet Explorer and go to http://192.168.2.1 It will ask you for a user name and password that you created during set up. The password is blank by default. You are then logged into the router and can view or change the WEP key, or any other settings for the router.
