How do I find my WEP key on Windows 7?

If the encryption key isn't on a label on your modem or router, the likeliest place to find it is in your router's admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand. If you don't have a router, the following should apply to your modem itself.

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 should be turned off as a security risk), enter the router's local IP address in your browser's address window.

2. Poke around, especially under wireless security, until you find the encryption 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.

To find your router’s IP address:

4. Click on the Start->Run button.

5. In the text box, type

cmd

and press Enter.

6. A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter

ipconfig /all

A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.

Hope that helps.

The WEP is not on windows 7, that # is on your router. Normaly a 10 digit number in a row on a tag on the router, by the serial #

The WEP has nothing to do with your operating system it is in your router and with a 2WIRE it is the serial number that is listed on the bottom of the router. It will be a 10 digit hexadecimal number so it may have numbers and letters in it.

Usually go to 192.168.1.1 on youe web browser and that will show you your WEP codde also
