Wireless question - how do I find out my WPA?

lauranurse

Help!

I amazingly managed to set up a wireless network a year ago without really knowing what I was doing except what I could find out from here (thanks guys!) and thought I was being oh so clever giving it WPA encryption.

I now need to find out the WPA so I can add another computer, but had only saved it unencrypted on my laptop, which is no longer working. Is there any way I can find out what it is or change it?

Please help! Im feeling very stupid!

If you connect to your router using the ethernet LAN cable and access the config page you can then see the WPA key which you can copy to your clipboard and then paste it into the WPA key box when requested to do so on wireless. May also be worth storing it in a notepad document for future reference.
