I’m trying to hook up to our wireless network. No one seems to know the encryption key. What do I do?

August 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

When you first set up a wireless network and put in the encryption key, there’s a box to check which says: “Make the character visible.” It’s not there after the wireless network is set up. Help!

      I know for mine you have to use a computer connected to the network to “log in” to your router.

      I do this by finding my IP address for the computer. Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network Connections, click on your network and then on the support tab. Your IP address should be on this page.

      Next I can take this IP address and put it in the address box of windows explorer (the place that usualy has “”www.——.com”), changing the last number to a 1. Example:If my IP is 192.168.2.4 type in 192.168.2.1, this logs me into my router.

      From there I go to Wireless->Security to find my 26 digit WEP code needed to join the network. I don’t know if this will help, but it works for me. I use a Belkin Wireless Router.
