Can't Remember WEP Key/Code!

[soren7550]

Ok, so I have wi-fi, but in order to use it for other devices, I need to input the WEP Key. Problem is, I can't remember what the hell it is. Is there an easy way to figure it out w/ my computer or do I have to contact my internet proviter to get it?

That should help you.

You could try going into the administrative settings of your wifi device and changing it.

Or, you could do a hard reset which would erase the code and all the settings you've changed.

It should, but honestly I just Googled "How to find WEP code" and skimmed through the first result.

Ok, it gave me the code, but the device I'm using to see if it works keeps telling me that the code I'm inputing isn't correct.

WEP keys are caps sensitive, if the code has a C then c won't work. Don't know if your already knew that or not but it is a common problem

Try looking on your router its usually printed on a lable or sticker

I put it in exactly as it appeared (both with and without the dashes) and it didn't work.

My router has six different sets of numbers on it - model, rating, listed i.t.e, factory ID, serial and mac. I've been told though that none of those are it.

Ok, I just found a wireless USB adapter that I'm almost 100% was used for my desktop's wireless internet before we plugged it directly into the modem so that the internet would work better.

The USB has two different sets of numbers on it, Mac and Serial (which that itself has two sets of numbers, model and S/No). Would either of those work should I plug it in?
