Wireless internet not working help! 10 points!?
I have a belkin wireless g router i use it for wireless internet around my house..the router is hooked up 2 the dsl box and our desktop computer..we have had no problems what so ever..recently i had laptop problems & they had to do a system restore..now everytime i try to connect to our router it asks for a network key..it never asked for this b4? it used to automatically connect now its asking for this key? i lost the installation cd that came with the router and i tried downloading updates from the routers support site..that didnt work..i typed in the name of the router recently where is says network key and now it TRYS To connect..it always says aquiring network address..but then it disconnects after a failed attempt..the internet works fine on our desktop and i try to connect wirelessly from like 5 ft away..what could b the problem..and can this b fixed without the installation cd?( i have already tried downloading it off belkins site) I ALSO TRIED RESETTING THE ROUTER ALREADY!
2 ways to do it. Reset the router back to default which will give you no key or a default key which should be labeled on the bottom of the router. To reset the router use the pinhole button on the bottom or back
or you can login to the router and reset the key. To login use your desktop PC thats already connected, go to Start > Run > type cmd to open a command line Then type IPCONFIG /ALL and get the default gateway IP Address.
its probably 192.168.1.1. type that number in the browser ( internet explorer) and login to the router. the password is probably admin, go to the security or encryption area and type in a new key
