Easy steps to find the WEP, WPA or WPA2 password:
What is WEP, WPA, WPA2 key?
WEP, WPA and WPA2 is nothing but the encryption key of your wireless network.
In order to connect to the wifi, you need to enter the password. In other words your network is secured and you are not allowed to get in without the security password.
You might have installed the router a long time back. And now you don't recall the security key. You have not written it anywhere. You might have it written somewhere but now you don't know where it is?
Trust me these are very common issues. I used to take calls of many customers who were looking for the security key.
It is not difficult to find the password.
You need to open the setup page of the wireless router that you have. Setup page is the page where you will find all the settings of your network. The default IP address of most of the Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1. The default password is admin.
If the default log in is not working then you can try some of your common details. if nothing is working then you may need to reset the router to factory default.
Remember, once you reset the router, it will come back to factory default and you will need to reconfigure it from the start.
If your router is using WEP security settings then network key will be 10 or 24 digit hexa-decimal number.
Once you open the setup page, go to wireless settings and look for the password.
If you are using Linksys E-series or EA-series routers then you can find the password on the Cisco connect software also.
Open the Cisco connect software. Go to router settings. You will see the router user name and password. This will be the security key of your wifi.

I am trying to connect my new laptop to the wireless network. I am using Linksys E1000 wireless router. I have opened the cisco connect software and I can see the correct network key. I enter the same password but it does nothing. I have my iPad connected to the wireless and it is using the same password. Not sure what to do.
