    if you have a network cable you could plug your laptop directly into the router and go to 192.168.1.254 in a browser to get to the configuration page

    Or if you just used the default key you can go to this page:
    http://s4dd.yore.ma/eircom/

    Type in the 8 numbers from the ssid and it'll give you the wep key

    Your best bet as per the above post is to connect by ethernet - go into settings and change the security type to WPA and you can set up your own password and network name.

    More secure and easier all around. And dont forget to save your settings before you exit.

    Hi there,
    Was thinking of buying the Acer Aspire 5920 in Powercity. Seems to have all I need for video editing etc. I have a zyxel Prestige 600 broadband box plugged into my PC (using Perlico connection) will I be able to get wireless broadband on the laptop? Would appreciate your advise before I buy.
