Wireless Broadband to Wii

Hi all, and a very happy new year to all MSEers.

I am lucky enough to have the excellent wii in my front room, and now I want to connect via my orange livebox to the WWW.

But, i have no idea how to obtain my wep key. I haven't got the orange installation cd any more - so where do I find the key ???

:confused:

    try clicking on these links 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 as they should take you to the router homepage
  • THANKS !!!

    As suggested, it's underneath - DOH !!!
  • One thing to try if the WEP key is not accepted, try it in lower cased. Although the sticker was in capitals, the Wii wanted it in lower case.

    I think that Orange have adopted an uppercase WEP key policy but I don't see why you can't log-in and change it to whatever you want i.e. a hex string like this:6FEC5685F8A53982F8562280BC
