To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on
router using ethernet cable.
1.     Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in
browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
Use your password if you have changed it earlier
2.     Go to wireless tab.
3.     Go to wireless security sub-tab
4.     If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared
key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be
your network key
Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless
network on Wii. To get these settings:
1.     Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in
browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
2.     Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network
name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled.
3.     Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the
security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note
passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level
and key 1 from listed 4 keys
this will help you in checking whether router is encrypted or not??
