Find WPA key

I need the WPA key for the Window's side of iMac. I have the new AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n).
In the AirPort Utility menu bar, menu item "Base Station" the item "Equivalent Network Password..." is gray!
Help, is there a way to get the key that Windows will accept?
Thanks, Swami
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Do you have a key set? That option should be enabled only if there is a key. Are you authenticated for the configuration page of your base station? also, if you just put a key in, you may have to apply the changes before that feature can be used

WPA Key - AirPort Extreme

purchased a new airport extreme 802.11ac. set up with all apple products is seemless. but can't find WPA key for set up with Windows XP laptop. how to locate?

There are only two "passwords", and you have already located them.
One is the alpha-numeric key. The other is a 64 character code, known as an equivalent network password, network "key", among other things.
Versions 5.x of AirPort Utility called this 64 character code the Equivalent Network Password. Versions 6.x of AirPort Utility call this the WPA Pre-Shared Key.
Sorry, but there are no other "keys" to locate anywhere in AirPort Utility, or any other application for that matter.
Please check with Apple Support to confirm this information.

Cannot find the WPA key

I'm trying to connect my laptop to the internet. In the "WPA - Personal Needed for Connection" screen, it keeps asking for a passphrase, which is supposed to be the WPA key. I can't find my WPA key; I was hoping it was the Encryption Key, but it's not.
In order to find my WPA key, I tried to type in 192.168.1.1, and then type in admin as the the password, but it won't let me in. The password window just keeps popping up, and when I continue to type in my password correctly, it simply leads me to a purple screen and says "access denied"
Help, please. :<

Hi beavis01.....
It seems like you changed your router password...So, in order to access your router page, there is actually one way....You need to hard reset the router....
And you need to configure your router back all over again....
No worries....I will guide you all through the process....
Reason this thing happened - someone push the Cisco System button at the front panel of your router...So the router wil automatically configure your wireless and set the security to WPA Personal...
Before that - how bout you try to put in 10digits of your phone number in the passphrase box...
Give it a try k.....
Thank you...!!!

Where does one find the WPA-key for their airport express?

I'm trying to have a Playstation 3 access my airport express network. It sees the network but when I get to the security settings (which is WPA-2) it asks for my WPA key. I don't know where to find that. I went into my computer's keychain utility to find it, but I am rather lost there. Any help?

I now am able to log on, thanks. I typed this in earlier and it said that it was an invalid key. Not sure what settings were doing things before. Thanks alot. However, I'm having another problem.
Since I got my airport express I have been having trouble logging onto certain sites that I use to with just the cable modem. The progress bar in Safari goes about half way and then stops. Firefox browser does the same thing on the same sites. It is only a just a couple sites like Yahoo home page for emails. When I tried to log into the Playstation Network, the same thing happened, it won't access it and then times out. My OS version is 10.6.8 if that helps.

Where do I find my WPA key for my wireless router??? (WRT150N)

Ok so I'm trying to setup Xbox live for my Xbox 360. I have the WRT150N wireless router and just got the wireless adapter that plugs into the 360. It said the adapter couldnt pick up the signal then i realized i needed to enter the WPA key from my wireless router. Im only 15 and my dad is on business and im not really tech- savvy. I checked the information on the router and it only gives me the serial number and MAC address. Anyone how I can find out what the WPA key is for the router??

Type 192.168.1.1 on your browsers address bar. Login. And you'll find your security password under Wireless->Wireless Security.

Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network. It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key. Where do I find this key?

Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network. It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key. Where do I find this key?

Hi Michael,
It sounds like your router's authentication is set to WPA and thus where the key is established. Does your MacBook Pro connect to a wireless router? If so, that's where you'd need to get the key from via a web-based control panel for the router or if it's an AEBS via AirPort Utility.

How do I find the WPA key on my Bravia TV?

Hello ekrahmer, thank you for replying. In regards to your question I assume that you would like to know how to get the WPA key for connectivity. This type of concerns seems to be something that you may ask to your Internet Service Provider. However to setup the TV to connect a Wifi-Direct capable device, we kindly recommend you to try the steps below:
1. Make sure that the TV has the latest system software (firmware) update installed.
2. Using the supplied remote, press the HOME button.
3. Select Applications.
4. Select Wi-Fi Direct.
5. Press the Options button.
6. Select Manual.
7. Select either WPS or Other Methods
NOTE: The WPS setting is not available on all Wi-Fi Direct capable devices. Refer to the manual supplied with the cell phone, computer or other Wi-Fi Direct device for information regarding the WPS setting.
8. If WPS is selected, on your Wi-Fi Direct device, go to the wireless network setting screen, select WPS (if capable, for automatic setup) or perform a scan to connect to the Sony television.
If Other Methods is selected, the SSID and the WPA Key that appears on the TV will have to be entered on the Wi-Fi Direct device.
NOTE: In some cases the TV may appear as BRAVIA or BRAVIA TV on the Wi-Fi Direct device.
If this post helps you to resolve your concerns, please let us know by accepting this post as a solution.

Hello ekrahmer, thank you for your post. For further assistance, please let us know with the model number of your Sony TV.

How do I find out what my network key aka wpa key?

I'm trying to connect my Dell laptop via Wifi at home and the connection is asking for the Network Key aka WEP/WPA key? Any clue on how to get that? Airport Utility Security settings?

If this is in your own home then wire a computer to the wireless router, logon to the router using the router username and password, go to the wireless settings and take a look at the key.
If this is on a Apple Airport type router then you use the Airport utility program on your notebook that is Wired to the Airport to get the key. You can downlaod the Airport utility for Windows from the Apple website. If you wire the notebook to the airport you should be able to get online and download it.
P.S. How much you want to bet there won't be a reply to this.

Need to enter WPA key every time i re-connect?

I have a small network of one wired PC, one wireless PC and a wireless laptop. I messed something up while trying to add our new itouch to the network and now, the laptop is asking for the WPA key every time it re-connects. As of right now, the wired PC is also the only one getting on the internet. We are using the WRT54G v.4, running windows XP on all three computers and i'm about to throw them all out the window. Please help. By the way, the laptop has a different IP address then the other computers...is this a problem too? Thanks in advance.

All the computers on your network should have different IP addresses, but they should all be on the same subnet 192.168.1.x . If your computer fails to connect, it may show a 169.254.xxx.xxx address. This address simply means you failed to connect. It comes from Windows, not the router.
First, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the non-working computers, temporarily turn off the software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps you make a connection.
To fix the recurrent WPA key entry problem:
In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will clear any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Your computer should connect automatically to your router. If you still have trouble, make sure your computer's software firewall is off.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Also, please note that WPA = "WPA with TKIP", and WPA2 = "WPA with AES".
If you are using WPA2, then note that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
If you need more help, please state the computer software firewall that you are using.

AC 5.21/5.30 - Profile Deployment - WPA Key

Hi Together,
I'm currently tuning our setup for installing our new T400 laptops, and I'm haning at the location profiles. I want to include the WPA Key in the LOA File, everywhere is written that its no problem, but I actually can't find a point to add it / README to get trough it....
Can somebody may give me a tip?
I tried it by adding the saved REG part for the Key, but thats not working...
Thanks in advance!
Kind Regards
Klaus
Solved!
Go to Solution.

unfortunately, there was no popup coming up when choosing the WLAN profile...
its working now, the solution/problem was:
I used the "AdminEnabler" for winXP in Version 4.xx, as there is no version available for download on the lenovo HP
=> I now used the AdminEnabler for WinVista on the WinXP laptop
isn't that strange? i thought the Enabler is just ticking a radio box inside the AccConn to show the buttons...
Thanks for help

Help I Need my WEP key or WPA key

I set up my wireless service sometime way back when I got my laptop and then promptly had to unplug all and run from a hurricane. I just got around to hooking back up the wireless the other night (after a year) and want to use my laptop, but when I try to go onto the internet I get a message that says "The network requires a network key (also called a WEP key or WPA key). A network key helps prevent unknown intruders from connecting to this network."
Well I have no idea what the key was that I set back then or what was given to me. Is there a way to find that key, and if not, is there a way to erase it (without having it) and put in a new one? Or do I even need one at all? I live in a subdivision with houses about 5 acres apart so there probably isn't going to be much worry about someone using my wireless network. Any help in being able to use this laptop would be greatly appreciated.
Pam

You can configure the router manually for this. Open http://192.168.1.1 on internet explorer. Leave the username blank and type admin on password. on the linksys setup page go to click on the wireless tab. Click on wireless security subtab. select WPA for the security mode. Change the pre-share key from that page. Make sure your doin this from the wired computer or while your laptop is connected wired to the router. Reconnect to the network with your new key.

WPA Key

Hey I'm new to the whole Air Port Express and I'm trying to use my network for my playstation3 it keeps askinf for my WPA Key. The problem is I have no idea where to find it. Can some one please help me?

Hello Jami1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The WPA Key would be the password used by the AirPort's wireless network. If you are the administrator of that network, then you would just use the password you created.
