Belkin router , I need to find my network key

The WEP key is in the router's wireless setting.
Connect a LAN cable from Belkin to your laptop/computer's LAN port, open a browser on your laptop/computer and enter the Belkin's configuration URL. http://192.168.2.1
The default PW = blank (just press Enter) You can now change the default admin password.
You can now configure the wireless settings to protect your wireless network and Internet from unauthorized access. Now configure the wireless card in your computer/laptop with the router's wireless settings.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If you want to connect to the Belkin Router Wirelessly and it is asking you for a Security Key, all you need to do is to access the router settings page and look for the Network Key or Passphrase.

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 192.168.2.1, the Default password is blank

Click on Security under Wireless and look for the Security Key or Network Key (Passphrase)

Thanks for using Fixya.

The network key will be dependent on the settings of the router providing you with the wireless signal, not the adapter receiving it.

The wireless security of the Belkin must have been enabled. Use a computer wired to the router to access the setup page and get the network key.

In the address bar of your browser, type 192.168.2.1.

By default, leave the password blank.

Once on the setup page of the router, go to Wireless -> Security. You will see the network key here.
On your laptop, view the available wireless networks and you should see your wireless network name or SSID, then when you click connect you have to enter the network key.

I hope this helps!

You need to access the setup page of the router using connected computer.

In your browser's address bar, type 192.168.2.1.

By default, leave the password blank.

On the Belkin setup page, go to Wireless.

Take note of the SSID. This is the name of your wireless connection.

Then go to Security under Wireless. Copy the network key.

On your friend's laptop, view the available wireless networks, you should see the SSID, then just enter the network key.

I hope this helps!

If you router is already set up and you want to add a new computer, you don't need to run the set up CD for the router again.
If you want to add a new wireless device ( laptop or any other wireless device) to the network, then you should know all the wireless settings of the router. What wireless settings do you need to know ?
You should know the wireless network name ( SSID ), wireless channel and the wireless security password
( network key ). Once you get all the wireless settings of the router , you will need to connect to the wireless network on the computer. when you try to connect to the network , you will see your wireless network in the list. You just need to select your network and connect to it. If it is secured then you will need to enter the network key and you will be able to go online.
To check the wireless settings of the router , you will need to access the router set up page. On the set up page you will find all the wireless settings of the router.

Get the same friend back out LOL :-)

First of all, look at the IP address the first computer has. That's done by pressing the Window symbol and "R". It opens up a box and you type CMD on the line and press OK. It opens up a new window and you type the command IPCONFIG and press enter. It will spit out a bunch of numbers, but the only 2 that matter is the first line telling you what address the PC has and the 3rd line telling you what the address of the Gateway is. Generally the Gateway is in the form of 192.168.2.1
That's the Belkin default but it may be something different. Now, the real question is what happens when you try to connect to the network from the new computer. Does it show your wireless network and is it secure? If it is, you're going to have to find the password. When you try to connect to the secure network, it will ask for a WEP or WPA key.

Go to the working computer, open Internet Explorer, and on the address bar type http://192.168.2.1 or whatever gateway address you got above. It will open up a new box with LOGIN in the upper right corner. If your "friend" didn't set a password, you'll get right in. If he did, remember the first line.

Outside of that, finding the security key should be easy enough to follow if you open this tutorial http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/33/p/386

A WEP key is 10 or 26 hexidecimal characters (0-9, A-F) not case sensitive. A WPA key can be anything from 8-63 characters and it is case sensitive so MyKey is different from mykey or any other variation.

Your last resort is to reset the router, especially if it's a DSL. You will have to do a lot of extra programming and it usually requires the original paperwork for addresses, login, and password to the inernet to set up.

if you have not changed any settings from belkin router, access the wireless configuration on your windows machine and search for the belkin ssid then hit on connect
