2wire router asking for password

Hi,

I understand that you are having trouble connecting your Nintendo DS wirelessly to your 2Wire router. The solution is simple, your Nintendo DS only supports WEP (Wireless Encription Passkey) security. It is highly possible that your 2Wire router's wireless security is set to WPA. That means you will need to reconfigure your router so that it will be utilizing WEP as a security for your wireless connection. To be able to do this, you need a couple of information from the one who setup your router. 1. User name of your router 2. Password or your router.

Once you have gotten this information, you will need to access your router configuration page through one of the computers that is linked to your 2Wire router by typing http://gateway.2wire.net on the address bar of your browser.

It will be asking you for the username and password. If nobody had setup or changes the username and password of the router, use this default username and password of a 2Wire router. Username: (none) Password: Wireless or Username: 2Wire and Password: (none). Try any of the two. If it does not work, try admin and the word password for the password or any other combinations of the two.

Once you have entered the router's configuration page click the Home Network Tab and then click on Wireless Settings. You will see there a portion that says Wireless security. In that area, you will see a drop down where you can choose what kind of wireless security you want on your system. As I have said, the Nintedo DS does not support any other wireless security setting but WEP. That means you will need to change the drop down to WEP. That also means after changing this, you will need to reconfigure your other wireless devices (like your laptop) to use WEP as well.

Hi,

WEP key should be created by you. By default, router's wireless network is unsecured meaning there's no password or WEP key setup on it. Please run the disc that came along with the router and on the process of configuring the router setting up a WEP key is part of the process.

Thank you!

If you check your router you will find a reset button or a little hole in back insert pin in hole and press for 10 seconds your Moden should have reset now you will have to put in your login and password to access modem

the password for 2wire if you got it from your ISP is most likely on the bottum of the unit on a sticker

• Open a Web browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254; the 2Wire Home page opens.
• Click the Home Networking tab at the top of the 2Wire Home page.
• Click on Wireless Settings. then click EDIT SETTINGS located on the right panel.
• Here you will be able to fine the setting for your wireless connection
• You can change the SSID, Wireless Channel, Wireless Security, and Network Key

Thanks for using Fixya.

it depends on what type of OS that you are using. But the key point to this is that your computer was able to see your network, usually your network name would be 2wireXXX (the X is the 3 digit of your serial number of your 2wire modem or router. if it is asking for password or wep key. the wep key for your 2wire is the number enclosed in a bracket, that is usually 10 numbers below the serial number

The Wep/Wap key is generated inside the router when you set up, IF you do NOT know the "Key" you will have to get into, login to. the router via a Browser, and Generate an new Key,in the Security Section, Now, copy this Key down, I usually copy paste to a notepad document,and save. Then when you access the router from a Client you can simply enter the data from that document, you stored on a USB key use on the client. You could also simply write it down on paper too.

type this #(192.168.11.) password type this (admin)..only password u need to type on the box

WEP key is actually the network security key for ur wireless network,,if u have any computer which is online through the router u can find out the wep key.double click on the wireless icon on the online computer and u will find a box with 2 tabs,,click on the support tab at the top and u will find an option called default gateway,,preferably 192.168.1.254{preferably like this},,put this ip address in the address bar at the top and hit enter,,a box will come up with username and passwrd,,u hav to ask ur internet service provider for tat information and then after u get into the 2wire page u will find a option called wireless security,there u will find ur wep key,,or else if u look at the bottom panel of the 2wire u night find a 10 digit number which is the default wep key for 2wire netwrk,,best of luck, keep me posted

The WEP number is in a wireless router near you, you must have a wireless router been setup in your home, then you have to program it. you choose your wep key code and only will have access to this wireless network.
