Where do I find my WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase?

• Contact your system support person.

  • The person who set up your network usually keeps the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase.

  • If your wireless network was set up by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), then you might find the information in the documentation they provided.

• See the documentation that came with your access point (wireless router).

  If your access point is using the default settings, then you can find the information in the documentation.

• View the security settings on the access point.

  1. Open a Web browser, and then type the IP address of the access point in the address field. Press Enter.

     Notes:

     • To obtain the IP address of the access point, see the documentation that came with it or contact your system support person.
     • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

  2. Enter the user name and password for the access point when prompted.

     Note:

     The WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase is not the same as the password for the access point. The password lets you access the access point settings. The WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase allows printers and computers to join your wireless network.

  3. Look for the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase.
