Is there any password that I can use to enter a WLAN with a WEP or WPA security key?

You can encrypt your network. Check your manual\non how to do it with your equipment. If there's a choice\nbetween WEP,WPA and WPA2 chose the last one in\nthis list.

WEP is worthless. It has been broken. WPA is OK and should protect your info. WPA2 is unbreakable and is the best. Long passwords are not always the answer. A shorter password with a good mixture of Letters, Numbers and symbols (like underscores) can be a strong password. I.e.  The Beachboys= _47_2e_ch0o_s this is a very strong password. There is little indication as to what  the password is. It will be difficult for a computer to break. Notice I said difficult not impossible. Nothing is impossible. Impossible just takes longer.\n\nAlso remember that many sites limit your password to less than 20 characters.\n\nThis is a copy and paste of a Kim Komando Newsletter about Wi-Fi encryption.\n\nQ. Mom is 89 and moving to an apartment in senior housing. She can't live without her computer. The home encourages wireless Internet, although she can get cable Internet. Her banking and investments are done online. How safe is wireless in such close quarters? And is wireless as fast as cable, considering possibly 100 of her neighbors may be connected to the same system?\n\nA. Your mom is 89 and she's doing her banking and investing online? That is wonderful!\n\nYou raise some interesting questions. They apply not only to senior housing, but also apartment complexes, dormitories, co-ops and any place where large numbers of people live in close proximity.\n\nFirst of all, banks and brokerages use their own encryption. It works with the Internet browser your mother uses. So, assuming she keeps her software updated, no one is going to intercept and read those transmissions. Today's computers are not capable of breaking that encryption.\n\nHowever, other things, such as e-mail and Web browsing, are not encrypted automatically. Your mom probably doesn't want people snooping into her personal business. So she has to depend on encryption in the wireless (Wi-Fi) system, if she uses that. \n\nTo explain this, I've got to hit you with some acronyms. There are three encryption standards for wireless—WEP, WPA and WPA2.\n\nWEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It's worthless. WEP is easily intercepted and broken. Really, it is worse than worthless. People who use it may be misled into believing they are protected. They are not. \n\nWPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. This protocol was developed because the Wi-Fi Alliance realized that WEP offered no protection. WPA was an interim standard, used until the Wi-Fi Alliance formalized a protocol to replace WEP. There is some debate about whether it can be broken. I think it is adequate, but I prefer WPA2.\n\nWPA2 is the second generation of WPA. It is currently unbreakable. It also is state-of-the-art in wireless encryption. This is my preference for encryption.\n\nWithout encryption, or if WEP is used, most of your mother's transmissions could be read. Who would do that? I'd say if you put 100 people on a system, and they have time of their hands, a few will start messing around. \n\nThe wireless signal also may stray outside the complex. Heaven knows who might intercept it. They also could read her transmissions.\n\nWPA and WPA2 will protect your mother's transmissions both inside and outside. So, you need to ask the system administrator at the housing center about encryption. If it is WEP, or if there is no encryption, she should not use the Wi-Fi system. WPA is OK; WPA2 is better.\n\nYou should also ask the system administrator about speed. The wireless system is probably hooked up to the Internet through a cable or telephone company. Speed is going to depend on the capacity of the lines. I can't address that from here. \n\nEven if your mother has her own cable connection, it could still be slow. Sharing bogs things down. If the wireless setup is using the same cable system, it may be much slower than what she has now. \n\nAll of these questions must be discussed with the system administrator. If the "system administrator" is a complex employee wh

First of all u need a wifi certified card or built in wireless reciever. Then you have to find a hot spot where wifi service is provided. then you scan for connections. Most of the time you need a wep whcih is a securitycode to protect intruders. There is some places like starbucks or some MC donalds that offer it. Some charge for the wep key though.

it is basicly opposite of what u think, wep key is the password, dont make it obvious use a hard wep key so know one can access ur wi fi for free. the key is what u make up.

Don't use WEP. WEP is old stuff and can be hacked into many sites on the internet have tools for hacking into WEP and many tech sites don't recommend using it. Also would need to know more information on how to tell you do set this up. I would asume you are using Windows XP (as you have to set up the computer side as well). In addition different routers use different menus, so knowing the exact model would help someone answer your question such that you can have it work for you.\n\nWhat you want to do is use WPA, much more secure. In addition, running it without the protection is not a good idea as you have found out. Reason why the companies leave it open as default is to make installation easier. Why I have no clue.

You need to open the configuration on your wireless device and create a WEP 128 HEX key for your device. (or not create a secure network for everyone to hyjack). Enter that key into the airport settings for your network name. Plug the mac into the router and then use safari to open 192.168.1.1 and you should get a admin screen, the admin login is blank but the default password is "admin". That takes you to the control screens and you turn on the wireless part. Assign the WEP key and your're off. Its really quite simple.

You have to enable WEP or WPA Security on your Wireless Router.  WPA is the best protection for wireless router now.  WEP is crackable but it's better than nothing.  Normally the password for Linksys router is "linksys" (Without Quotations) If it's not try the word password, if that's not it reset your router to the original factory settings and check your documentation for the default password.\nCheck these articles from linksys\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1116602204044&packedargs=site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1116519873380&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

Enable WEP or WPA encryption.  That will be in your router configuration settings, login to your router and follow the instructions that were included to turn it on.  Once you have done that when you connect to the network, Windows will ask you for the network key.  You will only have to enter it once and your computer will remember it but no one else in the area will be able to connect to the network.\n\nWPA encryption is stronger but WEP is older and hence will be compatible with older devices that may not support the WPA encryption standard.

double check the wep key

If you log into your router, you can look at the lan configuration and see what computers are using the network, but if you are using WEP encryption, it should not be an issue anyway.

If you're connected to a wireless network with wep and you haven't done any sort of crazy hacking, it's working.  People without the keys, without doing any sort of hacking, won't be able to access the router/access point without your keys.

you can't break in someone wirless connection easily\n\nthe only way you can do is looking for weak keys on a WEP broadcast. but every know uses WPA so it's hard to break in because it was upgrade version of WEP with it's flaws fixed, \n\ntrying to get a weak key is not easy to get, it takes month or even years (yikes!) You need Linux or Unix do it so you should start learnign that first.\n\nBetter just leave it be it's not worth it.

enter router setup, 192.168.1.1\nrourer user name admin, password admin, or whatever you may of already set up.\ngo to wireless network options\nyour looking for security or WEP security\nset it up with a password, when you are finished slick save , then you will get kicked off because you dont have the password set up on your machine yet.\nthen on your computer go to your wireless network connections and set the same key in your profile there, and thats it, connect.\n\ngood luck\ntv

You can if you do not take the neccessary steps to guard against hackers or internet theives.  You have to make sure you setup your WEP key when setting up any kind of wireless access.  This way the user will have to have the key to get on.  If you want to get more granular, then don;t broadcast and put in the connection for your laptop manually.  These are some ways to stop you from getting hacked.

if it requires a network key than more than often if you don't already know it, then you probably shouldn't be on the network. If you are authorized, you will need to contact the systems admin and ask for the key since it could any diff combinations as in 64WEP, 128WEP, wpa, tsk or whatever else they have for security on the wireless network.
