A friend was in my house a few days ago and tried to connect to the internet via his phone and asked me what the wep key was for my network. How do I find out what my wep key is?

    Who is your isp and what sort of router do you have as it is sometimes written down on the router (usually if you have a Thompson or cheap free one)

    You may also need to log onto the router and check what the wep key is.

    WEP was superseded by WPA/WPA2 many years ago and you should not now be using WEP on your Netgear router!

    Log in to your router, you will find the wireless passcode listed in wireless settings.

    Try http://192.168.0.1
