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.
