what router is it? just type either one of these numbers into the address bar

192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1
192.168.2.1

Then you can look under security and it should say your WEP key

On my belkin router you go to http://192.168.2.1/
The wep password is under security on the wireless menu. You might need another password to access that option.

http://www.dynamode.co.uk/support/support.html might help?

Usually under security settings or similar, but most routers I've seen don't have security enabled out of the box...

If the wireless is turned off the security boxes may not show up.

1st make sure wireless is on, then look for security in the wireless settings, it may also be WPA and not WEP
