[QUOTE="TrollyMcTrolls, post: 1326657, member: 223487"] Here is some information that may assist you as to finding your wireless network's password. 1. Connect to router with wire. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one end to your computer's network adapter the other to the LAN port on your AirPort 2. Login to router Open up your browser. In the address bar type in 10.0.1.1 A prompt should appear asking for a password. The default password is 'admin' If the address 10.0.1.1 fails to connect to the router, try 192.168.1.1 or 172.16.1.1 3. Navigate router's menu You should find in these menus something corresponding to "Wireless network" and in this you should find a "pre-shared key". This pre-shared key is the password you must enter in order to connect a computer to your AirPort Express Addition security reading: -Mac Filtering (Media Access Control) Filters out all mac address' except for the ones you enter into router. The benefit of this is that even if someone manages to crack your 128bit pre-shared key, they now have to be granted access by using a mac address that is accepted.
