    Someone in the household will have to provide you with the wireless security key and the key type. If they are hiding the SSID, you will need this also. All of this information is case sensitive.

    Your wireless is turned on, otherwsie you wouldn't be able to detect the network and get to the point it is prompting your for a key.

    Whoever setup the router, has applied encryption so you need to the key to connect.
