uhh wronggg. well, right. but, wrongg.

too many steps.


if your router is up, and broadcasting an ssid(and you can have encryption enabled!), you can just scan for wireless networks. why connect the computer to the router? hate to break it to you, but ethernet and wireless have different mac addresses. so they have different ips. run ipconfig /all. you'll see. loool. you only connect your computer by ethernet to configure the router. and when yer wireless ain't workin after powercycling yer router/modem, just reset the router to default settings (by sticking pencil in back ((on most routers))). sure, you'll have to connect your laptop back up to it to reconfigure it with an ethernet cable, BUT, apparently you don't even need to seeing as how according to you, the router magically generates a WEP key. or any form of encryption.

Most routers do have WEP keys.
