Ok im in a rental house on the beach and there is free wifi, the problem is that it has a WEP key and we cannot find out what it is, on the wifi router (a lynksis wireless g 2.4 ghz router" there is an output broadband cable so i was wondering; is there anyway using that cable for me to remove or change the WEP key? Thanks

if it has wep key... its obviously private, ask the admin of it for the wep key, they manage it all through a computer, software is installed on router and it is accessed thru computer

Hope that helps!

Obtaining WEP key without the permission of the router/access owner is considered "hacking." Therefore the pursuit of that area shall not continue since it violates Trap17 forum rules.

Follow lemonwonder's advice and request for your WEP key form the signal's owner.

No we have talked to the owners but they don't know the key they thought they left it here but it doesnt seem to be here, we have permission to atleast try it, if we cant do it then we have to call out the company who installed it for them and hope they have the key on record.

Depending on how many others are using this WiFi signal, you can access the router/access point and reinstall, reissue the WEP key then. And thereafter you can notify all users of this WiFi signal and have them change the WEP key.

Since you'll have the signal owner's permission you can help him/her to access the device and reset, reissue or regenerate the WEP key. It's as simple as that.

Nomaly, if they have setup a WEP , the have also protected the router with a password.
(At least I do that everytime).

The only thing you can do is then pressing the restore button on the router, but then all connection settings are gone also, that maybe a problem if they use xDSL (where a password is needed to connect).

Before you change anything check if you can take a backup of the router data, so you can place the data back original in case of problems.

Hi, I have a NetGear wrg614. It has worked great for quite a while now (almost 2 years). Recently
however, it has been dropping connections if my cordless phone rings or we make a call with it. The
cordless phone and the router have coexisted this entire time. This issue has just starting
happening a few weeks ago. has anyone had experience with this sort of thing before?...
