Finding the network settings of your router or access point
The procedure to find the settings of your router, such as the SSID and wireless keys, varies
and depends on the router brand and model. Most routers (or access points) are accessible
using a computer browser, such as Internet Explorer.
To find the network settings of your router or access point using the browser, follow these
steps:
1 Open your browser on your computer.
2 Type the address of your access point, for example http://192.168.1.1
If you do not know the address, follow the directions in Finding the network settings of
your computer.
3 If needed, enter the administrator user name and password. If you do not remember it,
you can reset the router to the default settings and read your router's user manual for the
default user name and password settings. If you still need help, call the support line of
your router's manufacturer or visit their web site.
The SSID is usually listed in the home page of your router's settings.
Finding your wireless encryption keys depends on the model of router, but most routers
list keys under Wireless or Wireless Security or similar. From the router Web page you
should be able to find all the wireless security information that you will need including:
 Whether the SSID is broadcast or not
 Whether wireless is enabled or disabled
 Type of wireless security
 Number of bits used in the keys
Note: The address of the Default Gateway is also the address of your router.
