Hi,

Either check the documentation that came with the router or look up the make and model on-line to obtain the user guide of manual.

You should be able to proceed from there.

I am trying to hook up a new wireless printer, and I need to know a couple of issues. My motem is an Actiontec M1000 ssid is myquest3677 and I need to find the password, and the WLAN access point/router

Hi,

Welcome to FIxya. If you need you Security Key or Password (Network Key) on your router you need to access the Wireless Settings Page. To access the router page you need a working computer that is connected to the router. To access the router page just open a browser then type 192.168.0.1, the Default username is admin and the password is blank. Go to the Wireless Settings and you'll find the Network Key or Passphrase (Password). You can alsoThen Personalize you Network Key or Passphrase so that you can easily remember it. Then WLAN Access point is the Network Name or SSid which is myquest3677

Thanks for using Fixya.

Reset the router. There is a small reset button on the back of the router. Hold it in for 10 seconds and then the default login and password can be used.

Trying to find password to my router to hook up another computer to network

if you set your own password and do not remember it the only solution i know of is to reset the router, and therefore the password, to the "factory default" settings:
-before doing so be sure you have any configuration information you may need to reconfigure the router.
-there should be a small recessed button, probably on the back, to perform the reset. usually it must be pushed and held for several seconds.
-often the default password/login info is printed on a label on the bottom of the router, if it is not there then check the manual or search..
-depending on your software you may need to restart your computer (or force it to reset its network interface) after the router has been reset, in order to access the network again.
