Connecting to a Sky router

I have just had to buy a new laptop. I cannot find the code to connect to my sky router.

Can someone tell me how to find this please?

    It's on the sticker on the bottom of your router.

    The sticker on the bottom of the router has an SSID, which is the name of the network that you will connect to when you look at the available wireless networks on your computer. Then there is a Network Key, this is the password you need to enter when prompted, when you try and join the SSID (your wireless network).

    So mine for instance is sky44444 so i choose that network in the list of wireless networks available to me and it will prompt me for a password/key, so i look under the router and enter the network key listed there, its case sensitive so make sure its exact!

    If you are asking for the login to access the router web page for setup etc then its as the previous post!

  • Thanks, I know about the network key it was the other bit. I had the same problem when I got this laptop, wrote eveyrthing down, and now cannot find it, mind you we have moved twice since then and OH is very good at chucking out stuff he does not recognise.......the laptop is on its way should be here today, Hopefully everything should go ok, sorting out the stuff to transfer from my external hard drive will be the next challenge.
