How to find a WPA passphrase for ATT uverse?

Im trying to hook up a wireless printer and I have the SSID but I have no idea where to find the WPA and it stared out on the security page? Any ideas?|||When you configured your router you set the security for it...





If you forgot it, you will need to logon to the router (following the instructions in the manual that came with it) to view the current settings...





If all else fails, there is usually a reset switch on the router that will reset it to "factory default" settings... Since the default usually has security setting turned OFF, you will not need any security code at all, but should reset it as soon as possible to prevent someone hijacking it from you!





Also, are you sure it is set for WPA and not WEP? See the attached reference about settings, since it says the default setting for that router is WEP! Again, logging on to the router with an existing attached PC is the best means of viewing the current settings!





Another thing to try:


If you have a two wire uverse router, the WPA information is located on the bottom front of the router. The WPA is found underneath the router's serial number. If your router is mounted to a basement wall, don't worry. You can slide the router off of the mounting screws so that you have access to the bottom of the router box. Flip the router over, write down the WPA number and enter into the printer.





Finally you can call ATT customer support to assist!|||the U-VERSE 2wire RESIDENTIAL GATEWAY or modem router, has a sticker bellow it, if it is standing upright tthe sticker is located on it side.


2wire doesnt use WPA key but "WEP key"


WPA is more complicated coz it has letters combined with number to form a code


but WEP key is only plain 10 digit #

|||I'm assuming you have the same type of hardware I'm familiar with (that's from AT%26amp;T, not some third party). Look on the bottom/side of your router, there should be a series of ten numbers with brackets on both sides, or it should say something like wireless keycode.
