Hi, I have the above wireless network router to provide the internet from my desktop to my son's laptop. Unfortunately the lap top had some corrupted files and had to be reset, during which the encryption key was lost.

Please can someone tell me how to fix this problem, as we are unable to use the laptop for the internet now.

I didn't keep the original piece of paper that was used when the router was first set-up, so I've no idea of what key was used.

Please help.

Hi there Sara2005, welcome to PCHF

What is the exact make and model of the Router?

Hi. The make is US Robotics and it says on it wireless turbo access point and router. The model is - USR8054.

Hope you can help.

Open your browser and go to this address: http://192.168.123.254 - this will allow you to log into the router to change the WEP key. Make sure you change the WEP key on the laptop to match the new key.

The link isn't working, it just says the page cannot be displayed.

Yup, my fault - I posted the wrong IP address, try again with my edited number...
