Lost/Can't remember my passprase for my network
Okay, so I have satellite internet with a Netgear router, and when we first got the internet, the installation guy set everything up, including the network and stuff, which recently got deleted (who knows why), so I set up a new network and accidentally made it security-enabled so it gave us a passphrase/security key to type in each time we connected, which I never bothered to write down.. So I can't find that.. and I tried resetting our router by pressing the reset button, which didn't work. So I'm currently using our dial up internet.. I tried plugging the router into our laptop and doing the http:192.168.0.1 or whatever it was, and that didn't work.. and I tried just starting over and making a new network, but it's saying it can't find hardware or something. So, is there anyway I can find out what the passphrase for the connection is? Thank you.1 person needs an answerI do too

Are you sure you followed the correct procedure for resetting the router to factory defaults? Check the router's documentation for the correct procedure. It may be more than simply pressing the reset button. Resetting the router will clear out all passwords from the router and you will need to configure the connection again from scratch.Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
