Does it ask for a "Network Key" when you try to connect?

I have a vodafone version of the linsky router and the i found my key in my virtual router.

So,plug the cable in from router to pc.
Let it recognize it.

Open command promt. (CTRL+R then type CMD and then Enter)

Type ipconfig>enter
Copy your default gateway (should be 192.168.1.1) into your broswer address bar (mozilla etc)
Hit enter
If you have your own password put it in now/if not try leaving it blank or try "admin" or "ADMIN"
Go to advanced.
Go to Network
Wireless LAN
Copy the "Pre-Shared Key"


If it does not prompt for this key turn security off (same page as the key) and see if you can connect then.

Which Linksys model is this, mine doesn't have any preinstalled security key?

Its one you get from your internet ISP (in my case vodafone) so im guessing most get their routers from there:)


If there was no key then it was bought from a store...obviously lol,sorry,i should have put that in the post above
