How to Retrieve WiFi Password via LAN Connection
Have you ever been in a situation where you need to find the WiFi password, but you can't remember it and it's not saved on any of your devices? One scenario where this might occur is when you are connected to the network through a LAN cable and want to connect another device wirelessly. In such cases, you can retrieve the WiFi password through a LAN connection. Here's how you can do it:
- Connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter your router's IP address in the address bar. Usually, this is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. If you're not sure, you can find the router's IP address in the network settings of your computer.
- Enter the router's username and password. If you haven't changed these before, the default credentials are often 'admin' for both the username and the password.
- Once logged in, navigate to the WiFi settings section. Look for the wireless security settings or a section that displays the WiFi password.
- You should now be able to view the WiFi password. You can either note it down or change it to something more memorable.
Remember to keep your WiFi password secure and avoid sharing it with unauthorized individuals. If you're having trouble accessing your router settings or retrieving the password, you can contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance.
