network password

Hello, I just bought a Nextbook Premium 7 and I am trying to setup Wi-Fi on it. There asking for a " network password" where do I find that?

If you haven't changed the wireless password on your router, then it should be on the service tag on the bottom of tour router.

There should be a "WEP KEY" followed by a 10 character password.

BTW, WEP security is easily broken.  You should change the wireless security level in your router to WPA2 (much stronger) and use a strong pass phrase.

Okay, how do i go about changing it

Also, I forgot to mention that i tried using the WEP Key and when I try to connect it gives me an error that reads unable to connect to server

If you can't connect wirelessly, you'll need to connect with a cable to the router.

Once connected, open up your internet browser and go to http://192.168.1.1

If you've never been there before the router will prompt you to create a user name and password.

Once you're at the main screen, click on Wireless Settings at the top, then click on Basic Security Settings on the left.

On this screen you can see and edit the name (SSID), and WEP key (network password).

After you make any changes, be sure to click apply at the bottom.
