You only need a WEP key if you connect using wireless. LAN connections do not require a WEP key.

You should be able to find the WEP key by accessing your wireless router.

Usually, to do this, you need to connect to the router using an Ethernet cable. Then open up a web browser (such as Firefox or internet Explorer) and browse to 192.168.2.1. This is a common IP address for routers. However, some routers are configured differently, so try 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 as well. If those 3 IP addresses do not work, check google or the manual to find your router's default IP. NOTE - The IP codes do not work using google chrome

If you are prompted for a passWord and you have changed it, enter the new user/passWord. If not, the most common default user/passWord is admin/admin.

You should now have the setup screen for your router. Go to the "wireless" tab and you should see your WEP key; however, it may be encrypted. If it is, just change the WEP key to whatever you want.

Note to users of Windows 7:

If your computer is connected to the router you wish to find the WEP key of, then follow these steps.

  1. Open Network and Sharing Center by right-clicking your connection icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  2. Click the link of the network you're connected to. (Should say "Wireless Network Connection 'router's name here')
  3. Then click the button "Wireless Properties"
  4. Then click the Security tab
  5. It should show your Security, and Encryption type. Also there should be your passWord in secret bullet form. Simply click "Show characters" and Voila! Your WEP key should be staring you in the face.

Another way of finding the WEP:

Look on the bottom of your wireless router; the numbers that are between the ( ) bars are the WEP key.
