Retrieve wireless connection network key

I have the WRT160Nv2 router. I need to retrieve the wireless connection network key. I have the user name but have misplaced the key. I have it set to connect automatically when I log on so I haven't had to enter it for a long time. None of the possibilities that I had noted when the kids would come over years ago will work. I want to allow them to use our wireless network when they visit.
Thanks!

If your laptop can be connected to your wireless network, you can use this wireless key finder to locate the key. It's pretty simple tool. Hope it helps.

WRT320N & IBM T42 laptop keeps dropping wireless connection at key times

I have an IBM T42 laptop whihc keeps dropping the wireless connection at what seems to be the same time windows each day.
I have my cable modem connected to my WRT320N.
My wireless it set up as follows :
Manual configuration
Wireless Band = 2.4Ghz (Think it needs to be this for the T42 wireless).
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = 20Mhz only
Channel = 2
It seems to be that at approx 8pm each night when using the latop downstairs, the wireless connection will drop and then fail to reconnect for a period of time. I reboot the laptop and it will then begin to work again. The wireless connection does seem to keep trying to connect but it cannot maintain the connection to the router.
Any ideas?

Well I've pretty much given up trying to get this router to work so have spoken to the supplier I bought it off who said it's now discontinued by Linksys - all support is through them now. Took it up with them went through all the steps I've done to try and troubleshoot it (helps to be an IBM engineer as I logically follow procedures through).
I've RMA''d the router and hope it's replacement works better. I've just unbricked my old WRT54GS to make do whilst I wait for a replacement - back down to 100mb traffic - I'll miss my gigabit switch for a while!

How can I change Sky wireless router Network Key

I need to change network key in order to maintain ongoing security of my broadband connection and restrict usage by someone who knows the current network key. Is it possible? If so details of how to achieve would be appreciated

Hi,I tried the same link to reset my network key and I keep getting the same authentication window after inputting the username and password stated... I need to ensure my password and network is safe after our lodger who is a compuer programmer has moved out. He has been able to use his laptop at his friends over 2 miles away to control his desktop at home via our network, and I want to protect us from him leeching our service. ThanksMick

How to find SSID and Network Key to setup wireless printer to iMac?

It is easy to find your "SSID" and "Network Key" once you understand what you are looking for. Here is what worked for me when I setup a new wirless printer today:
1) SSID = Your Network Name
Ex. Jason's Wi-Fi Network
Ex. Harry's Lounge
First way to find: on an iMac, go to the top bar on the right side and click on the "wireless symbol". You will see a list of all the wireless networks your computer is picking up. The one you are connected to (if you are able to surf the Internet) is the name you enter when asked for the SSID.
NOVICE HINT: This is the equivalent to walking into a Starbucks and logging onto their wi-fi via their "network name," which has the word Starbucks in it. Some network names will have have locks next to them, meaning they are "secured by a password" and some will not, meaning anyone can access this "free" wi-fi. This doesn't matter either way, it just helps with making sure you have located the list. Of course, it is also possible, if you live in a remote area, that only your network name will show up.
Second way to find: on an iMac, go to the apple symbol in the upper left corner of computer and make sure it says "finder" (if it doesn't, just click on your desktop and it will show up), then select:
go > applications > utilities > Airport Utility > double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme and the network name will be listed
2) Network Key = Password used to access your Wi-Fi Network
Ex. BMXGuy456!
Ex. Millionare$!!!
This is the password you created when you setup your wireless network, meaning it may not (and should not be for better security purposes) the same password as you use for your Apple ID, email etc.
NOVICE HINT: So if for example a friend came to stay with you and wanted to connect to your "secured wifi" meaning there is a lock next to it, you would give them this password.
EXTRA INFO:
Why do I need this info anyway?
Because just like anyone who wants to use your wifi when they come over, the printer needs to understand what to connect to, therefore it basically needs the network name to know "WHAT" to connect to, and the "PASSWORD" in order to access that network.

After much stumbling around, I also discovered this answer. I picked up the 2270DW used, without disc or manual, so downloaded what I needed from the Brother site, but the Brother Mac OSX instructions feel as if they're written by a non-Mac user. I am on OSX 10.7.5, using an Airport wireless unit in Bridging mode (because I have to use a provider's router at the front end of my setup). But once I picked my Airport network name through the Brother Wireless Setup Utility and then typed my network name in the SSID box and my network password in the Network Key box ("es" --- I think the "network key - i.e. password" had to be confirmed a second time) after waiting for the utility to process the information, it worked like a charm.

I got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
click on "Advanced..." button
Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
Click "Ok"
Click "Apply"
Well done ;-)
You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete

Droid Razr M Kitkat 4.4.2 Update Removes All Wireless and Network Connectivity

For 2 days a screen has been popping up on my phone urging me to download and install Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. What could go wrong, I asked myself? Oh, brother!
Before: Android Jellybean has been chugging along contentedly on my phone for nearly a year. I love my phone. It has served me very well. I get a clear and full-strength signal from anywhere in my home using my personal router, and get a signal matching in quality to the strength and distance of Wi-Fi routers when I am out and about. (I previously had an HTC Desire with US Cellular and could NOT get a clear signal of 4 bars except very rarely. Usually I got 1 or no bars. Caveat: I live out in the country.) My Verizon Droid gets 4G network 5 X 5 almost always out here. Let's just say I've been very satisfied.
After: Android Kitkat is installed. Yay! Oh, phone. Why you no work no more? It's really simple. I have no wireless connection, even though the router is working perfectly and this is proved by the fact that my wife is online in the next room with her computer. I also have no 4G connection. I have no 3G connection. I HAVE NO CONNECTION! I have a brick which I can't even play my games on because they can't connect with the game servers.
So, first, thank you, Verizon, for sending out a product that has clearly not been properly tested. A casual look at the forums and other websites will show that this problem isn't peculiar to my phone. It's all over the country.
Second, please patch this pronto! My phone is dead! Dead to me, I say! Unless I have internet connections and the ability to make and receive phone calls, I will have to consider throwing in the Verizon towel and finding a competitor who can actually roll out a successful update.
All the best!
PRK

I fixed it! By myself! Me! Single-handedly! OK, I fixed it by accident after trying every thing that I saw mentioned on these forums regarding the update problems. What worked? No clue. I did: 3 soft resets; 3 switching on and off wireless; 5 forgetting and re-discovering my router and re-entering all the password key info; turned it off and left it off for 2 hours; changed/toggled every state of every wireless and data connection switch 5 times.
I'm not sure which of these worked. After turning it off and turning it back on after all the above attempts, I had signals. Wireless and 4G. Who knows why. So, dear Verizon, I take back the mean things I said. I'm sure you were trying as hard as you could in a stressful situation. Neither of us was at our best. Let's just agree to let it go and move on. OK? OK?

We're do I go on my iPad to enter my wireless network key number

We're do I go to enter my wireless net work key ? Number

Hi Barbaraclark,
If you are seeing Client ID, then it sounds like you are already connected to your Wifi. When you initiallly set it up, it should ask for a Newtork Name and also have a Security option. Under the Security option, you would see:
WEP
WPA
WPA2
WPA Enterprise
WPA2 Enterprise
Usually your network key would be a WEP key, but not always - depends on what your provider has.
However, you do not see the page with the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, etc. (with Client ID at the bottom of the list) unless you are already connected.
So, not sure what you are looking to do?

Having issues with WRT54GS router acquiring network address after wireless connection.

I've been experiencing problems acquiring a network address after making a wireless connection with the WRT54GS wireless router. I have a Comcast cable modem connected to the internet port of the router and after configuring the SSID and the 64 bit WEP key, I can connect to my router's SSID, but since I can't get an IP address, never connect to the Internet. I've already cloned the laptop's mac address to no avail. Even after configuring a static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, still cannot connect. I can Ping and Traceroute from the router but not the PC. I can ping localhost and host IP address from the laptop but not the default gateway. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, SJ

Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Try to access the internet when you connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Status page. Check the Internet IP address on the status page of the router.
If you are able to access the Internet with the Wired connection to the router then try to create a new wireless network on your router.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Change the wireless network name SSID and change the channel to 11. Save the settings. Go to Wireless security sub tab and check the wireless security settings. Click on Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Try to connect to the new wireless network and see if that works.
How many wired and wireless computers do you have in the network?

Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously. My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way.

In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
For Macs:
o MacStumbler
o iStumbler, or
For PCs:
o NetStumbler

I "secured" my network and in doing so disabled my wireless connected pc

I "secured" my network and in doing so disabled my wireless connected pc cannot see the network or rather the network is blocking it off. In doing the settings I did notice on the active pc list it showed 1 active pc and 1 inactive pc and at the time both pc's were active and connected so I don't know why I got that. I don't know what to do further except use the cd that came with the linksys wireless and I cannot find it!
Can anyone help me undo what I did and possibly re do it allowing my second pc to be seen and allowed on the network?
windows xp, linksys wireless G router and usb adaptor

Hi...
   In this case first connect one of your PC to the router with an ethernet cable.
then log in to the Setup Page of the router with http://192.168.1.1 username is blank and password is admin.
         Under the wireless tab on the Wireless MAC Filter , disable the Wireless MAC Filter.Then on the Basic  Wireless Settings make sure that the wireless channel is either 6 or 11.also check that the SSID Broadcast is enabled.
       Under the Wireless Security tab change the security mode to WEP and in key 1 ,type any 10 digit numbers [1234567890] as your security password.
      i hope this will work.

MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network

hi
ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
RANT:
The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)
Cheers
dr.colekat

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.
