netgear wireless router security codes

how do i find out what my wireless routers wep code is?

i need to find the wep code for my router to go online on my ps3, i already tried pressing the small button on the back of the router to reset it but when im on my ps3 the security level is still at wep. i have a netgear router

step by step instructions would be great, thanks

Your WEP code may be on a sticker on the router. If not, the likeliest place to find your WEP key is in your router’s admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand.

Basically, to get into the admin pages, do this:

1.On a computer connected to a wired port on your router (wireless access to the admin pages is a security risk and should be turned off), enter the router’s IP local address in your browser’s address window.
2.Poke around until you find the WEP key. Copy it down EXACTLY. Copy-and-pasting it into a text file (Wordpad is generally best because it’s on almost all Windows machines) is even better, as it can be copy-and-pasted from there into whatever needs it. When you see it, you’ll understand why this is a good idea.

Here’s how to find your router’s IP address:

1.Click on the Start button.
2.Click Run…
3.In the text box, type in

cmd

and press Enter

4.A black “DOS box” window will pop up. Type into it

ipconfig /all

and press Enter.

5.A bunch of seeming gibberish will fill the screen. On the line next to “Default Gateway” your router’s IP address should appear.

One more thing: That reset button takes a lot more than “a push” to do its job. You generally have to hold it in for 30 seconds or so. But if you can get your PS3 to work with the WEP, your network will be far more secure.

Good luck.
