Merlin820 32 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Set up a PC in daughter's room and trying to connect to wireless network, the message comes back saying can't validate licence but that it's connected? Anyway, I can't remember the WPA key or the network key, any ideas how I can get round it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rower 4 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Is the code not on the back of the router? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callsign-kid 1,617 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Standard code should be on the back of the MODEM-router. If it isn't the standard pass code then you can reset the router and it will default to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wcarnby 196 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) You can be connected awaiting for the connexion rights. You're "there", but just without being able to do anything. Try accessing your router (which OS are you using?) and hopefully will be able to see (or change) the password there. If you are still on the default password, it should be written on the router somewhere.

Merlin820 32 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Think reset might be easier. Does that wipe all the info and allow me to start again? My mac and iphone connect automatically so I assume I'll have to re-enter connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topman1546081267 7 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 login to your router have you tried that ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin820 32 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I know the password for the wireless network, have tried it and it's incorrect. When I click connect on our network it asks for 'Network Key' - have no idea what it is. Nothing on the bottom of the router either. How do I login to my router?

Merlin820 32 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Who's your ISP? Virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E29NP1546080952 1,383 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Virgin. Ahh Ok. With BT you just type in an IP addy and all your Hub/Router technical info etc is there, I wonder if Virgin do something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGerkin 1 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and you will have a little box asking you to enter username and password. Try username: admin password: password 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin820 32 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Tried it, says address not valid. I set up a new wireless connection, it gave me the settings in notepad format including the network key, but still nothing. It will take someone who knows what they're doing about two minutes but I'm giving in for the evening. Thanks for all your help. Ahh Ok. With BT you just type in an IP addy and all your Hub/Router technical info etc is there, I wonder if Virgin do something similar? I owe you a +1 pmtts, I've just run out.
