Wireless router problemo
« on: May 26, 2011, 09:06:11 am »
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.

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.

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.

How many production Managers does it take to run a show?
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.
