Connecting a Wi for wi-fi (help)

Hope I'm in the right section

can any one shed any light on how I connect my daughters Wi to the internet, so she can play other people etc

When we get the menu up I can see my wireless connection (which is secure)
so secure I can't remember the pass word

what do I need to do next (apart from try and remember my password)
have tried a few goes all end up getting an error (51330) message :mad::mad:

I have since found out my password is XXX digits long if this helps

thanks in advance

    EDIT: When you log on to your router you should be able to see your wireless password. Do you know how to log in to your router's admin pages?

    If you've never done so then it will most likely be its default username and password. Google your model and you'll find these details.

    I've spent the last 1 - 1 & 1/2 hours trying to figure out my password
    I'm on the laptop and I can see xxx dots for my pass word

    whether I can see the password on the set-up page (on my PC upstairs) remains to be seen
    I'll check it tomorrow now, fingers crossed
  • why not reset the password on the router 1st , write it down then re do all the pc's ans wii to match it
  • Once you have sorted out you router's password, you will then have to setup the router's frequency to accept both b/g wireless signals as Wii only uses B wireless standard.

    I'll keep looking out for your posts

    I tried this late last night 1.00 - 1.30am could not get into my details
    entered the details as per instructions http://192.168.1.1

    then was asked for user name (in one box) and password (in the other box)
    guess what I'm still trying to figure out the password :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    on my laptop I can see 8 dots, and I've tried numerous phrases/passwords and I'm still not getting anywhere :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
