It would be whatever your base station is using. Go into the router
management section and look up what the WEP or WPA key is being used. You
need to use that on the laptop to get access.

You will need to be on the computer that is wired to your router.

Open IE and go to http://192.168.2.1 and log in.

Once logged in, place your cursor over the Security menu selection and then
slide right (or left depending) to the Wireless Security selection and click
on it.

Your key will be listed on that page.

Print or write down that key.

Now, on your laptop, you need to open the software that serves your laptop's
wireless card.

Somewhere in there is the place to put that key.

Good luck.

Later,

Randy
