hey all,

at the moment, i basically have zero knowledge of wireless routers. im having trouble setting up my router so as i can have internet both wirelessly onn my laptop, and wired on my desktop. im in college residence, so theres an ethernet socket in the wall (which i hook up to pc no prob)

jus messing around with trying to get wireless atm, but the eircom netopia router i have is asking me for a "security key or passphrase". all the papers that came with the router are at home in a box somewhere. is there any universal key i can use or can I remove the security feature or ANYTHING? anything at all i can do???
