I have a Linksys router and my laptop has Vista Home Premium.

Do I change the network security key (I know the old one) through Vista’s Network and Sharing Center, or through the router itself…or both?

Thanks in advance.
Brad, thanks, yes I’m using WPA encryption. So, the router is the boss, in essence?

marklaa asked:

I have a Belkin G Router and setup an obvious network security key when i first installed it. My connection is suspiciously erratic and i suspect people nearby have guessed the network key and are riding on my internet connection.

I can’t figure out where i go to change the network key. Can someone please help me?

ps. I’m not sure if it’s relevant but i use Vista.

I am trying to connect my laptop to my sister’s wireless network (linksys) and it is asking for a network security key. Someone else set up the network and neither my sister nor my brother-in-law know what the password is. I tried to access the ip address (192.168.1.1) but it is asking for a logon name and password- again- don’t have one. any help is appreciated. thanks

Ash asked:

My parents have a wireless router set up with a network security key and everything. It’s saved on my mother’s computer and such. Sadly when we try to connect it doesn’t work. It changed so there’s a different password.
My mother has no idea what it is at all.
Is there a way to find out what the new password is by looking it up on the computer?
