    Default D-link router password

    A few months ago i setup a 2nd wifi access point in my downstairs spare bedroom and all is working well except i have forgotten from WEP key and cant remember what is was, is there a way i can find what it is without going thru the setup wizard and changing the password ?
    When i upgraded my laptop from win7 to win10 it erased it and i'd rather not have to change all the other devices if there is a way around it.

    If you are only using a wep key and not wpa then wepcrack or one of the similar programs available should be able to get the key in a reasonable time. I'm assuming that you can't get it straight from the routers web interface because you don't have the password for that either?

    I can login no probs using the d-link wizard but no where does it show what my current key is. On my old netgear it had an option to show key/password and i was looking for a lazy way to just get the key instead of having to change all the other devices that use it.

    Save the configuration, and if it's one of these silly routers that encrypt the saved configuration run it through nirsoft's routerpassview.
