network password

Options
Hi,

Can any one help me with where i would find my network password? I am attempting to log on for the first time at home to my internet using my work laptop and it is asking me for my network password...

My router is a netgear DG 834G and there isnt a 10 digit passcode on the router anywhere as i was told there might be..

Can any one help?!!

Many Thanks

    Login to your router...Type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of your browser > Enter..Then enter the router username and password, unless you've changed it it will be admin & password (but you really should change the password to something else). Click on wireless settings on the left hand menu and scroll down to the bottom to find your network key.

    Hope that helps?

    Glad to help, just be sure to change your router password from "password" to something else, and keep a note of it somewhere safe, otherwise anyone can log in to your router and read your network password the same way that you did and compromise your network security.
