Wifi

I am trying to set up a wifi printer through a router, Where will I find my ssid name and wep key/wpa passphrase?
thanks

First place to look is any stickers on the router (you may be lucky)

if not then you will have to login to the admin pages of the router from your PC and get it from there.

If you want details of how to do that post back the make of your router.

No stickers on the router. It is a echolife hg520s
thanks

1. Make sure you are using a PC that can access the internet through the router (either wired, or wirelessly)
2. Open you web browser
3. Type in 192.168.1.1 in top bar.
4. A new window should open.
5. Type in 'admin' as username and 'admin' as password. and hit enter
6. Click on BASIC.
7. Click on Wireless Lan.
8. Have a look and hopefully you can see the network key one that page somewhere.

simple type cmd into the run command and then cd\
now type ipconfig
this will show you the ip adress of your default gateway
which is your router
or
open an internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 on the address bar.
it will prompt for user name and password. if its linksys leave user name blank and give password as admin.
in the setup page go to wireless settings.
there you will find SSID.
also check wireless security if its enabled note the key.
now go to your computers and scan for SSID.
enter the network key if it prompts .
