Question

If I dont have wifi at home, can i use my iphone 4s to connect to the router and how?

Answer 1

A lot of routers have the network name (ssid) and security key (password) for their wi-fi function  printed on a sticker on the bottom or back
It sounds like your uncle is talking about a router with a wps ( wi-fi protected setup) function where you can press a button on the pc and router and then the router sends the network info to the pc, well unfortunately this does not work with the iPhone, you will need the password.
Alternatively you can get the password by entering the routers internet based managment page by typing in its ip address into the address bar of your web browser ( usually this is somthing like 192.168.1.1 if this dosent work try googling the manufacturers name, model number and a query  e.g. linksys 54geu router managment ip address? ) if after typing in the router management ip address you get a page asking for a user name and password try entering Admin for the username and password for the password ( these are somtimes used as defaults untill you log in and change them) if these dont work they have probably been changed. Once in the router management page go to the wireless section and you will find the  network security key (password) in the security tab usually these are obscured as astrixes but ticking the show characters box will let you see them.
