WEP KEY by Steven on 11-20-2006 at 11:14 PM

Hello, I have enocuntered some problems (my friend lets say). A couple of days ago, some one from rogers came to fix my internet connnection because it was slow. When they were done, I found that they put a WEP on the connection. So when trying to connect from a different laptop, it is automatic there.  On my pocket pc, or PSP, or other connections, i cant connect because i dont know the WEP. On my default computer, i am connected by LOCAL AREA CONNECTION, and there is no sign of a router present on my computer, but i am connected to the router, but for somereason my computer only finds my modem. How can i find my WEP? Even though im connected by local area connection, and what do i need to do to connect to my router physcally instead of the modem. ----


From my friend.

configure the router, google for its ip and enter it into your browser (usually 192.168.*.*)

you also need to know the log in information. then in the preferences change/remove the wep key. i suggest just changing it because u dont want random people connecting to it and surfing child porn.

But its not installed, well i think it is, its connected to the modem but im connected to the LOCAL AREA CONNECTION, and so i cant configure anything.


From friend, and he also tried looking at the bottom of his router for code.

if you are connected to the lan, go to your browser and type in the ip thats used by your router, you dont need to be connected to the internet to configure it.

and is the setup pc > router > modem?

how do you find out the ip, do you need to go on whatsmyip.com? or is their a special one for your router?

I was jst thinking...would it not be easier to reset the modem/router to default settings? and then configure it the way you want?

Thanks but too late :( Anyways it was my friend, supersonic helped him, in the end it turns out the WEP was his dads cell phone number. He says thanks
