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.....

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.

WRT160n - Network Security Key

I have recently purchased a new Asus netbook and I am trying to connect with my wireless network. I have two other laptops that are currently connected and are working fine. However, I cannot locate my network security key in order to connect the new machine.
Is there a process I can follow to access my router in order to get this key?
Thank you.

Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab and then,subtab wireless security to check the Network/Security key.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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?

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

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.

How do I locate my wep security key?

where and how do i locate my wep security key

The security key / passcode is set on your router. If you have an Apple Airport router (Extreme or Express), you would use the Airport Utility on your Mac (in Applications/Utilities) to configure it. If you have a router that was supplied by your ISP, the WEP key is often written on the bottom (and you can always ask your ISP). If you purchased a different router, you would have set up a passcode. You usually administer non-Apple routers by browsing to its private IP address, eg http://192.168.1.1 (or whatever your equivalent is; you can usually figure it out from your Mac's Network panel of System Preferences).

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
