cant u find out by going to the routers setup page using the main PC? Thats how I do it with my Linksys BEFW11S4. In fact, I just setup my brothers PSP and my laptop that way.

ya x86 is right, try opening my computer and typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and enter your admin info in. It should have the key under the wireless section.

type one of the 2 addresses above into the address bar of IE and go into the admin section of your router

ya i tried, it doesnt work..my router isnt installed the way you guys think, it was retarted, i had to call like a help line, and i practically had to run command prompt for like the whole things to get it to work, theres no actual software for the router on the main comp. so i cant access anything. and when i try to type it in the ie bar, it brings me to msn search..or opens up my sympatico connection thing, which is useless.

guess you'll have to call the help line again then,.
keep track of their instructions and write them down incase you need them again

I have the same router and that will indeed take you to your router logon. Simply type in the default gateway address in the address bar of Internet Explorer.
