Phoenix Wright Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Can you guys/girls help me on finding my WEP key? On some sites, they say it is on the bottom...where? There is about 5 different arrangements of numbers and letters in all of them. Also, none of them are 10-digit codes. I have an ARRIS TM5O2G, so if anyone has this, can you please tell me the default key, to see if that still works? The man who "fixed" my computer locked up the security on my router. The reason for the question: I want DS Wi-Fi dammit! Edited March 12, 2009 by FEFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Usually, I think they are 10-digit numbers. Hey, like show us a picture of the numbers and we could be able to help out. But yeah, usually, they are 10 digit numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the WEP keys are either encoded with 16 bit or 32 bit encryptions. They can use hex code, so it's 0-9 and A-F for the codes. The 10 digit is the less secure 16 bit encryption, but anyway, DO NOT give these out to other people. It should be in the hands of the people who are in control of your network. There is no default WEP key, it's created by the person who configured the router for that network. And if a company did it, they would have given you the WEP key. If you live with and your router is owned by your parents, just simply ask them. They should have it.

There is quite a few differents groups of numbers on the bottom, but they are all different. About the bolded...my mom doesn't know it. She doesn't know much about computers at all, no one of my family does (including me). I'm guessing my WEP key is the same as before, but the guy who fixed our computer just locked it up for us.

Wist Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If someone came to your house to set up your router, he may perhaps have left a sticker on it which has the WEP key written on it. Regardless of whether or not that's the case, someone in your family must have received it even if that individual wasn't sure of its title or purpose.

Jyosua Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If you have the password to the router, you can reset the WEP key to something else yourself. But then you'd have to configure all the computers to use that new WEP key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The username and password to your router are defaulted to user: admin pass: pass is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
