Instructions
1
Connect your computer to one of the ports at the back of your router with a DSL cable.

2
Open a web browser and type "http://192.168.1.1/" in the address bar. This will bring up your administration page for your router.

3
Log in by leaving the username blank and use "Admin" for the password. These are the username and password you use if you haven't already set something up previously.

4
Click on the "Wireless" tab at the top of the screen, and then on the "Wireless Security" tab.

5
Look for the WEP key listed. There might be a few of them, usually three. Use the first one listed. It will be a combination of numbers and letters.

Tips & Warnings
You can always make your own WEP code by typing a familiar password in the box at the bottom of the screen. The software will automatically turn the password into a WEP key, but all you have to remember is your familiar password.
