Cannot remember wireless network key

askmontana · 06-28-2009, 08:44 AM

Hi all
I just attempted to set up my Belkin wireless - a screen came up with a long wireless network key -- I changed it to a different one - and now I cannot sign on ... it says I have the wrong wireless network key-- anyone know how I can reset it?
Many thanks! Happy Sunday!

and welcome to the Forum

Look on the back for a little reset button . . you usually hold it down for 15 secs, then power cycle to reset to factory defaults.

You should be able to look up the manual with your Model number

After resetting the router, try using WPA, it's much better compared to WEP key.

Make sure that all wireless devices support WPA before you try and use it.
