	Plug the router in and open the router control panel. If you can't read it, change it and update all the clients. If you can't get in the router, make sure you have credentials for the net connection before you reset the router. Otherwise you'll end up with a great network and no uplink.

[Edited on 01-10-2010 by adiohead] THIS find your gateway IP by going to cmd.exe and typing ipconfig then type that in address bar, go there, login to router (if you forgot that pwd then you need to reset router, tiny button on the router), then go to wireless security or whatever and change the pwd

	What are you struggling with? Logging into the router or accessing the Wireless? As has been said just log in to the router with the Defult Admin/Admin etc then change/View the Wireless key.

	Is it not the original key that's written on the side of the router?

	If you can log in and its not shown, just change it and make sure you write it somewhere safe. Re add any devices that you may have.

Was an old WGT624 from what i remember, the hash key was starred out in the textbox (the actual textbox valued was starred as well so you couldn't even do a 'view source' on the page).

	quote: Originally posted by Sam If you haven't changed the login password on the router you don't need to reset anything, just login and you'll be able to see what the key is as it's written in plain text in the config settings. Not always the case, it certainly didn't display the key on my netgear likewise it doesn't on my linksys. You can retrieve the hash key from another wireless device that has previously accessed that router (like the old laptop or another wireless system) - under windows you can use WirelessKeyView (google it, first link).

	do you have a computer already connected wirelessly?
