Hi Andy It's on the modem, so you would need someone to tell you what it is, then perhaps write it down and keep it in a safe place. I've done that, so each time I need it, I don't have to scrounge for sight! (smile).

This was actually helpful, but hasn't solved my issue yet. You might be getting me there however, you see, I thought the key or password I needed would be the same one I use to connect my mobile or Kindle to my network [Guess I still don't know the difference between WLAN and WI-FI!] It seems from what you say, I actually need some code that is written on the router? I've got a note of the 'password' for the router, which is different to the pass key I use to connect my mobile and Kindle to my network Since your message, I tried with this router password, but still couldn't get connected. Incidentally, this password for the router is one I created when I set up my home network a few years ago, so I must have changed whatever the default one was at the time.
