Need My WPA Code
Just bought a wireless internet radio and I have it hooked up via ethernet, want to go wireless and need my WPA Code. Wrote it down and can not find it any ideas how to find it?
Sorry, I was born to early to be able to figure out these computer things.
I just saw where I can recover my WPA will give it a try.

You need to go into your wireless router's configuration to find the code. How to get into it is dependent on the make and model.

I found a paper that had a code, I put it in and it was wrong. Found another paper and it was the right one. It was really a learning curve to program the radio but I managed to get it going. Thanks

Since in most cases the encryption key is simply to keep random strangers from accessing your network from your driveway, I generally tape the paper with the key on it to the bottom of the router.
Sure, if someone is in your house and looks under the router they can get on to your network, but how big a risk is that really?

Good Idea, of course one has to be careful with IRS and NSA Spying on everything

THat won't stop them when they watch everything that comes into and out of your router via the broadband connection, along with all of your neighbors.
