How to find my network security key

I recently installed Windows 7 on my MBP (OS Mavericks). I am trying to make a connection from Windows to my home network (Airport Extreme). When I do so, I'm asked for the "network security key." How do I find that? I've searched everywhere I know how, to no avail. My network works fine w/ my MBP running Mavericks. Can someone help me?

The "key" is another word for your normal wireless network "password", sometimes called a "pass phrase".
The password generates a 64 character code of random letters and numbers. I doubt that this would be of any use to you, but if you want to see it.....
Open AirPort Utility on your Mavericks Mac
Click the AirPort icon, the click Edit
Click the Base Station icon at the top of the screen
Click Show Passwords
More likely, you have a Windows Firewall issue, or Microsoft Security Essentials...if installed....is blocking the connection.  The anti-virus program can do the same thing.

  • How to locate my network security key

    I wrote this same request a month or so ago and can no longer locate my 'saved' message.  Would someone please forward me the link again on how to locate the network security key so I may add another computer to my wi-fi.
    And another question, will there be any change that more than one security key will appear and if so, how will I determine which key is the proper key to use?
    Thank you much.

  • I am trying to find the network security key for my airport extreme router

    I am trying to find the network security key for my airport extreme so I can hook up my pc lap top.

    I am afraid that the "key" will be of no use to you (it is 64 characters long).....but I hope I am wrong.
    Since you indicate that you are using an iPad, I assume that you are also using AirPort Utility on the iPad.
    On the iPad home screen, tap AirPort Utility
    Tap on the AirPort Extreme
    Tap on Edit
    Tap on Advanced
    Tap on Show Passwords
    Tap on Main Network and "key" will be revealed

  • How do you find wifi network security key?

    How do you find the wifi network Security Key?  Not password --- KEY?

    The "key" is probably totally useless to you, since it is 64 characters long and very few things will accept an item of this length.
    If you have an Apple AirPort router, we can tell you how to find the "key" for the network that it is creating, if you can tell us what operating system your Mac is using.
    Most manufacturers use the term "key" to mean the normal wireless network password, which is also known as passkey.

  • Finding the Network Security Key

    I bought an HP laptop in August and I have a wireless router at my home. The problem is, when I stay at my father's house every other weekend, I need to access his wireless router in order to gain access to the internet to complete my school work. My older brother, who set up the router, refuses to tell me what the network security key is or where to find it. I need to know, so that I can access the internet to get work done. I haven't been able to find it by myself.

    Unfortunately there will be no way to connect wirelessly to this network without having the access key.
    But, you should be able to simply use a network cable to plug directly into the router.  Provided no other access restrictions are in place, no wireless key is needed to access the network.

  • How to Make Wirless Network SECURE

    I am running my desktop hard line to a comcast modem which runs XP Pro. My Laptop which is running Vista is set up wireless via the WRT54GS Linksys Router.
    The wireless network is running great but it is identified as UNSECURED!
    After three 30 minute waits last night, 2 disconnects when I was not understanding them ( not a computer whiz but I do ok) and 1 live chat tech that copy and pasted the directions on how to set it up but not how to make it secure and then a quick disconnect    .
    Can anyone tell me exactly HOW TO MAKE THIS NETWORK SECURED and WHAT computer shall I use to perform this?
    Thank you for any help you can give me,

    Sbatch...you click on the pull down window to the settings.....I click on WPA then I input the code I wanted (only room for 1 code) then scroll all the way down to click on save settings.
    That method does not secure my laptop wireless settings?
    **No, that secures your router's wireless settings.
    or
    Is this the only method to secure the network?
    With some investigation I can find have found the following:
    If I right click on my Network Icon in my tool bar and then click Connect to Network and then right click on the Network and right click Properties I get a box with the following:
    Tab for connection and a tab for security with pull down bars which can be changed...
    1) Security Types -No Authentication (open), shared, wpa2 personal, wpa personal, wpa2 enterprise, wpa enterprise and 802.1x
    2) Encryption Types -WEP
    Current settings on my laptop Linksys wireless network security is
    Security Type- OPEN
    Encryption- NONE
    sBatch when I perform the WPA on my desktop my laptop must be off or not on the network correct?
    Doesn't matter, once you change the security settings onthe router, you will be prompted for the settings to reconnect to it.
    Has anyone found the LinkSys hyperlink for setting the WRT54GS router as SECURED?
    Define "secured".  Wired, only physical connection have access.
    Wireless, once you add WPA or WEP (WPA is better) it's secured.
    Sincerely,

    Does that help?

  • Printer does not retain network security key , after I log off and log back on .

    I have a HP Photosmart , eprint wireless printer. For some unknown reason, everytime I shut down my laptop and then restart it. My printer does not remember my  Network Security Key, and I have to put it back in on the printer keypad. This is not only slow, but a real pain ! How can I get the printer to store my security settings permanently ? Thanks !

    What operating system does the computer use?
    What model is the printer?
    What brand/model is the router?
    Is WEP or WPA being used?

  • Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

    Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
    Risk: High
    Application: oracle_tnslsnr
    Port: 1521
    Protocol: tcp
    Synopsis:
    It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
    Description:
    The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
    legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
    Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
    or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
    Solution:
    Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
    Thank you for your help

    that sounds like the "tns poison" vulnerability.  CVE 2012-1675 - Oracle Security Alert CVE-2012-1675

  • Need my wireless network security key

    I got a laptop and a kindall.  Wanted to connect them to my wireless network.  A screen asks for the wireless network security key.  I have no idea what that is.  Went to home computer and tried to copy the key, but I ended up deleting it and now can't connect to my wi-fi on that either.  I  attempted to restore computer to earlier date in hopes I could get back the code that was set up and when that didn't work, I set the router to default mode by using a pen to hold in button in back 10 to 15 seconds.  Nothing has work, and I have no internet connection.  I had to use my computer at work to type this.  What can I do?

    You must hard reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Connect via your browser with a wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now configure the router back to your settings with your new SSID and password.  Once done change all your computers to  the same password.  Write the password down and tape it to the router.

  • Network security key

    I currently had Fios internet connection, trying to set up the wire connection and I am having problems.
    Any time I put in the security password, a message come Network security key mismatch.
    I have the log in password printed on the router, with the Essid, Wpas key etc.
    Am I using the wrong keys or need to reset the wireless router?

    What security type is the FiOS Router showing? WEP is the default for anything up to the Rev. F , and all Westell routers. The Rev G and I ActionTecs should be on WPA2.
    Make sure you're entering in WEP keys in All Caps, and if it's a WPA2 or WPA Key that you enter it in case sensitive.

  • How to find out the primary key of oracle apps tables

    Hii,,
    My Question is How to find the primary key in the apps table...Is there any Query or other way to find out???
    for eg.
    I want to find out the primary key of the AP_INVOICES_ALL table...just tell me how can i get the primary key of this table.
    I am currently using toad for the query..
    Please guide me...

    you can define the primary key when you create table
    or add the primary key after the table creation by 'ALTER TABLE ... ADD constraint pk_nme primary key (col1, col2)';
    you could use below sql to check the detail of primary key:
    1) check out the table definition directly:
    select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','EMP') FROM DUAL;
    2) check out the columns of primary key:
    select * from user_constraints where constraint_type='P' AND table_NAME='EMP';
    select * from user_cons_columns where CONSTRAINT_NAME='PK_EMP';And BTW, it is madam, not sir. :)

  • Network security key resets every few hours

    Hi all, I have had an 802.11b wireless router for a few years now, and over the past few months I have been getting kicked off the network every few hours and having to reset the router in order to get back on. I ran a diagnostic check and it is telling me that my security key is not correct, even when it is the same saved password that I was using that earlier let me on the network (as in, I only typed it once for both times). Is this a known error? Has this ever happened to anyone else? I am thinking I will just replace the equipment but I'm curious to see if anyone else has had such strange experience. This happens to me on either XP or Vista. Any advice or thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi,
    First thing you should try is to update the firmware of the router. As your router is a bit older.
    After this Check the security key by logging to routers setup and if it is not your security key, then you can change it.
    To check security 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
