Can not remember

To connect your computer to a wireless router, you click the Refresh network list, then Choose your wireless network and then click Connect to your secured Wireless Network, it will asks for a Network Key before allowing you to connect into your wireless network. This Network Key is either the WEP, or WPA or WPA2 Encryption key that is configured in the Wireless settings in the Router. The Passphrase is an alternate way to setup the Encryption key.
When you are requested for a Network Key, you can just enter the Passphrase or WPA or WPA2 key that was used to configure the Encryption key in the wireless router. http://www.fixya.com/support/r5270415-network_password_network_address For information on securing your wireless network, configuring the wireless router and configuring the wireless card in the laptop/computer, please click on this link and follow my instructions :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security

Do you have a desktop or other computer that's on the network? Use it to log into the router and retrieve the wireless key.

You need to make sure that youre trying to connect to the right network or network name and you need to enter the network key if the wireless network is secured. if cant remember the network key you need to access the router page and on the wireless setting you can obtain the network key, you can also personalize the network name and network key and the security as well for you to remember easily


Thanks for using Fixya

connect to your router with a network cable and regenerate a new network key under wireless setup.

You dont need a wireless key to connect over a cable

Usually, you can log into your router to find the WEP and WPA password via the configuration screens. At least you can change them to something else if you don't remember your old passwords.

Login in using your browser and go to the wireless settings and set-up a wireless password/key. Remember the key because each device will now need it to connect. You can also turn OFF Broadcast SSID and your network name will not be shown on anyone's device. You must remember the network name when using this method.

The final solution is a factory reset of your router. You can do a factory reset by logging into the router using you browser. Go to the settings and perform a factory reset

If you forgot the router password, you ill have to do a factory reset by locating a small hold on the back of the router and insert the tip of of paper clip for about 10 seconds while the power is on. The router will be reset to out of box status and then you can ssets-up form scratch.

This is very easy to do. You will need to setup WEP Security. Access your routers admin functions, This is simply logging into your router and go to the security section. In the security section there will be an option to provide a WEP key. Type a short phrase or series of characters 6 to 8 characters long. You need to remember this key since you will need to add it to your computers so they can log in. Save the changes and exit your router. Go to your computer and add the wep key to your network connection login information. Power the router down and then back on. Anyone who does nto have the key will not be able to log in to your network connection. If your router ask for login and pasword information you will need to get that from either the User Manual or whoever setup the router initially. If it does not ask for that information you should set that up to prevent others from making changes to your router configuration.

If you don't remember what the key is, log on to the router and create another one. You will have to change the key on all other wireless devices on the network.

Try logging into the router by opening you web browser and in the address bar type 192.168.0.1 , if you are prompted for a username and password enter them and click ok (username usually "admin" password usually "root" if they havn't been changed.
Go to the wireless tab and see if it is displayed in there, if it isnt then make a new one and save it but by doing this all other devices connected to it will need the new key putting in but at least you can now connect your new laptop and surf away.

hope this helps :o)

At the bottom right hand corner of your screen, you have a wireless connection icon. right click and view available wireless network...if you see your network there. connect to that network, if secured, then call d-link to verfiy what is your network key. if it is unsecure then you can log on right away.

if that wont allow you to connect then upgrade firmware of router.
