Security key question

I have just set up a wireless router.  Things are working great except that once I log in with a security key once it never asks againg when I reconnect.  I want users to have to give a security key each time they connect.  How do I do that?

With most Linksys routers and most wireless adapter software, this is not possible.  The wireless adapter software normally memorizes the password.  As long as the password stays the same, the user does not need to re-enter it.
What router and wireless adapter(s) are you using?
One other question:  Why do you want users to repeatedly type in a password?

  • 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.

    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.

  • WRTU54G-TM asking to put security key

    I have WRTU54G-TM at home.  Ethernet-cabled desktop comp works excellent as well as laptpop with push-in wireless card (no latest model).  This laptop connects to my wireless system  not so quick but stable and authomatically, without any questions  to put inside "security key" because my wireless connection is "open" (i. m. without any security code).
    But I bought recently small laptop - notebook ASER E-machine 250-1162, model # KAV60 with Wi-Fi card inside.
    When I try to connect this notebook to home "open" wireless network to go to internet each time the notebook asks me (during process of connection) to put "security key".  I tried to put IP addresses that are on the router (192.168.0.1 or
    192.168.24.1) but computer does not accept these ##.   But the notebook contacts with internet very well with help of ethernet cable.   How can you help me ? And thanks in advance, Al. 

    Linksys router does not support multiple IP address schemes. For example, if you're using an IP address of 192.168.1.1 for your router. then try to use IP addresses from the range of 192.168.1.2 --> 192.168.1.254 for your hosts. If your router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and one of your hosts has an IP address of 19.168.24.1, then there are good chances that they will not communicate with each other. Even this, your actual issue is caused by misconfigured wireless settings. Therefore, try to verify your wireless settings.
    Hope this help!

  • How do I change the Wi - Fi Security Key?

    How do I change the Wi - Fi security key? 

    IT depends upon what modem you are using and if you use WPA or WPA2 (recommended)

  • Entering modem security key

    setting up printer for in-house networking.  The Wireless Setup Wizard request the security key which is 10 numeric digits.  I try to enter, but it is showing alpha characters.  How do I enter numeric, not alpha characters.
    Thank you.

    Oh, on the 6500, just keep hitting one key over and over until you get the character you want.

  • I need help changing the security key for WRT54G2 1.5

    I already know the security key on my network, I just need to change it.  I don't have 'cisco connect'. I've tried the web based method with the 192.168.1.1 IP and using 'admin' for the password, but that gives me a '401 Not Authorized' error.  I've tried using my own security key instead of 'admin' and that doesn't work either.   How do I change this.  I tried to use the Linsky's knowledgebase and that didn't help. Live Chat won't help unless I'm willing to sign-up for some paid service plan, and there is no way I'm doing that.  I've never heard of a company charging their customers just to explain how to do something. All I have is a simple question about how to change the network security key when I already know what it is and there is no problem with the connection. Can anyone help me.  PLEASE.

    If admin didn’t work, it’s possible that you might have setup a different password to login to the setup of the router when you initially set it up. Since admin and your security key didn’t work when you tried accessing your router page, the other option for you then is to reset the router. Push and hold the reset button on the router using a pin or a paper clip for 30 seconds and unplug the power cord for another 30 seconds. Once the power light goes solid, you may start reconfiguring the settings of the router. For instructions, refer to these links: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection. Once you establish the wired internet connection, you may then start reconfiguring the wireless settings. Go to the Wireless tab: set the wireless configuration to manual; set a network name; then save the settings. Once saved, click on Wireless Security subtab:  set the security mode to WPA2 Personal and enter a new security key on the passphrase bar.

  • HT1620 Where do I look for the security key when I download an item.  Your website says your key is 0xD0261077

    Where do I look for the security key when I download an item.  Your website says your key is 0xD0261077?

    Your question is somewhat terse, and I might infer you're conflating the PGP key used for Apple security-related email communications with cryptographic hashes (message digests) used to verify the integrity and the origin of files, and with digitally-signed binaries.  While these areas are somewhat related, details vary.  (If you're already familiar with this stuff, my apologies.)
    The Apple PGP key is used to sign (verify) messages from the security folks at Apple, and can be to encrypt messages sent to the Apple security folks.  See this Apple Security PGP web page for details on using the PGP key for message verification and for message encryption.
    File downloads are implemented differently, and will generally involve a particular cryptographic hash or message digest (and not necessarily a PGP key), and what might be used used varies by the particular website and the download involved, with some sites using the older and insecure MD5, and with others increasingly using some variation of the less-insecure SHA cryptographic hash.  Depending on the scheme used, these can protect against corruptions, or can also be used to sign the binaries.  The system that Apple is encouraging developers to use is called Developer ID.
    Shell commands used and useful here include md5 and various openssl commands for the sha hashes/digests.
    If you have a particular public web site or file download, post a pointer and I'll have a look.

  • Still want a solution for me to use my previous existing SYNC account (from my XP comp., for which I have the security key) on my new WIN 8.1 computer.

    My old XP computer died. When I loaded FireFux on my new WIN 8.1 computer, "I never got the option to enter my old security key to activate my existing SYNC account on my new computer."
    At this point I am so disillusioned with FireFux' SYNC feature that I won't even try to activate it on my new computer. "SYNC is nothing more than a crutch made of Papier Mache; after you are using it for a while getting around pretty well, it will suddenly become non-functional and be found to be beyond repair."

    THanks for your prompt and concise answer. Since i am used to working around to get things done, i can give it a try. after I do this ho do i go about deleting tabs from old computers, which show up in my list of "TABS FROM OTHER DEVICES", on other devices (I NOW have about five old devices)?
    or,alternatively,is this all more work than it is worth? --as i noticed tha FIREFOxh as already started syncing up my devicest hat areusingth esame gmAILacco unt?

  • 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

  • Not able to logging in DAC 11g, throws "Security Key is invalid or unavailable"

    Hi Friends,
    I installed DAC 11g in Linux (Installed in Windows and moved it to Linux and configured). It was working fine and sometimes it throws "Security Key is invalid or unavailable".
    I updated the DAC Repository schema details using standaloneServerSetupPrompt.bat file. Also getting the same issue.
    Appreciate your help on this.
    Thanks,
    Sakthi.S

    you need to contact your BASIS admin and tell them to check if BM7CLNT100 is available for access and that credentials you are using are authorized to access it.
    I'm assuming you're using SAP Authentication to login. If you login using Enterprise - you should be able to login into Infoview or CMC as BW changes will not affect that.

  • Not able to get rid of security-related questions in runtime

    Hi,
    I am simply using NetBeans 6.0.1 and the emulator QwertyDevice and the emulator platform WTK 2.5.2 for CLDC.
    I have chosen Alias as trusted in the signing option in the project configuration page. however still I am getting security confirmation questions in runtime to access the local files for instance.
    Would anyone please advise me how to get rid of that?
    Also I have deployed the application on SonyEricsson k800i and would like to get rid of the security confirmations on that device as well. What is the guideline?
    Thank you

    Right clicking on it is not even an option, just hovering over it seems to induce a "nuclear" reset of the whole desktop and graphic card on the iMac.
    Have meanwhile found a possible solution by erasing the dock preference file in the user/library/preferences folder to reset the dock to it's default state. Will try this out through a Skype conversation with that Buddy.

  • Time capsule "Security Key"

    According to Netflix, I need a "Security Key" for Time capsule so it can connect to my internet  ready TV.  What is that and how can I find it?  I could communicate with the TV until I had to do a hard reset on the router to make the network work.  My network is working fine otherwise.   Thanks for any help.

    You should not change the password on a wireless network unless you also change the name of the wireless network. Various devices store the network name and password information and if you change the password, the device still sees the same network name and thinks that it should use the old password.
    Try changing both the name of the wireless network and the password on the Time Capsule.
    Access the settings for the wireless network as follows:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Change the settings for both the Wireless Network Name and Password
    Write those down
    Click Update to save your new settings
    Then look for the name of the new wireless network and enter the new password to connect on all wireless devices

  • FileVault never gave me a security key

    I upgraded to Yosemite (MacBook Pro 2012), and I enabled FileVault for the first time during the Yosemite setup. FileVault is now on, but it never gave me a security key!

    I've seen another report of that happening in the same circumstance (i.e., enabling FileVault during Yosemite upgrade). The only thing I can think of to suggest would be to turn it off and after that process has finished, turn it back on again.
    Instructions for turning off (says Mavericks but same in Yosemite): OS X Mavericks: Turn off FileVault disk encryption

  • Just got a used airport base station. Set it up and getting wif signal. when I try to hook up on a computer it asks for a security key. where can I locate key?

    just got a used airport base station. Set it up and getting wif signal. when I try to hook up on a computer it asks for a security key. where can I locate key?

    If you mean the hexidecimal equivalent of the alphanumeric password, then you can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
    On the AirPort Utility's menubar select Base Station > Equivalent Network Password

  • Connecting MiFi to direct tv. Asks for a security key?

    Connecting MiFi to direct tv satellite.  It asks for our security key?  Any ideas where to find it?

        Hello Harveyharvey,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. I am glad to see that you are looking into options with using your mifi device. What model mi-fi are you using? Also what exactly are you hooking it up to your Direct TV for? There is usually a given security pin on the devices bottom on a sticker. This can either be directly on the bottom of the device or in the battery door depending on the model. This would be the only password assosciated with the device. Please let us know if you need anymore assistance.
