    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I think we will have to try and find out how the router is set up:
    You can download the user guide here which may help.

    On your current pc put this in your internet browser and hit enter http://192.168.1.1
    log in as an administrator, enter the password (the default password is admin - but may have been changed)

    Click on Wireless Settings, and the configuration Tab
    Make a note of the SSID (but don't post it)
    Click the Encryption Tab and look what type of encryption is set, and post that
    Make a note of the Key or Passphrase (you may have to untick the hide box to view it) - don't post this.

    So you should hopefully have a note of SSID, Encryption Type and Passphrase.
    Let me know how you go on.
