Yesterday I attempted to secure my router because my connection was slow as hell due to others using it. I was following step by step instructions and I set the WPA without receiving the WPA key, thus basically locking me out of my modem and making it impossible to connect to. Does anyone here know how to retrieve the WPA key that the modem has ? I really have to figure this out so any help is appreciated. Tanx !

What do you mean not retreiving the key?
Anyway you can usually reset routers to have no password by pressing a tiny button on the back that you probably need a paper clip to press.... when it\'s turned on, hold that in for like 30 seconds. Should reset it then you can try again.
-
well when trying to connect you have to type in a password or a key as they are calling it. looking for the little button i see a tiny black dot would that be it ?

Did you forget the key you set?
But yeah, that little black dot is most likely the reset button. Hold that in for like half a minute, then turn the power off and back on. Good chance you\'ll be password-free after that.

thing is i never had an opportunity to set a key, the modem apparently comes with one and i got it two years ago. hopefully that works with the button it sucks tho i cant try it until im back home with no internet and no way to get back here.
-
you\'re a dick, leith.
and you\'re pretty self righteous.
If Gabo can\'t take some ball bustin\' from a friend he isn\'t making it in the industry he\'s chosen to take a crack at.
-
Is there a lot of wireless networking and troubleshooting involved in the show production industry?
Don\'t get me wrong, I\'m all for breaking Gavin\'s balls.

you apparently dont know the answer do yo leith or else you would help me out instead of being busy sucking a dick
No even if I did know the answer I\'d still give you shit. Funny thing is you didn\'t get my joke but once you graduate you can have a runner explain it to you.
-
Gavin you know if you can\'t get the wireless to reset, you should be able to connect to the internet anyway with a LAN cable.
Plug that shit in the old fashion way, no password required. IDK if you have any of those cables kickin around but I\'m sure somebody does.

Zero
they have.....
How many production Managers does it take to send an email
3 one to tell his pa to turn on the computer
one to have his pa dictate what the other prod manager says
What did the Production Manager say to the crew after a long fucking day?
Didn\'t I do a great job?
I can go all day on this.

make sure to hold it in for at least 30 seconds, brah
then unplug it for like a minute before turning back on.
Different routers require different amounts of time since I don\'t know what kind yours is I don\'t want you to try just pressing it or hold for 10 seconds because that probably won\'t work.
Grab an ethernet cable b4 you get home if you want to be extra sure you got net access tonight. good luck

its a motrola sbg900 wireless router

google:
"Reset the modem from the back, you will need a needle or something, wait until it turns on. Then go to http://192.168.100.1 type on user: *admin* pass: (the HFC MAC ID as password you will find it at the back or at the bottom of the modem) ex: 0015a3e9570f. Remember is case sensitive, good luck. :)"
That stuff after the reset is what you have to do to put a new WEP key on there. If you just want unsecured wireless for the moment you shouldn\'t have to worry about that.
Here is the manual for your router, check out page 14: http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/SBG900/downloads/SBG900_User_Guide.pdf

I have not been happy with our wireless. frustrating. when the phone rings it bumps you from the web, spotty connect-ability, I can\'t wait to get a regular line going. :banghead:
