How to Retrieve WiFi Password When Connected via Ethernet

Many of us have experienced being connected to the internet through an Ethernet cable on our devices, only to realize that we need the WiFi password for another device. Retrieving the WiFi password when connected via Ethernet is not as complicated as it may seem. Here are some simple steps you can follow:

1. Access Your Router Settings: Open your web browser and enter your router's IP address in the address bar. Usually, the IP address is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. You may need to enter a username and password to access the router settings.
2. Locate the WiFi Settings: Once you are logged into your router settings, navigate to the wireless or WiFi section. Here, you should be able to view the SSID (network name) and the WiFi password.
3. Retrieve the Password: The WiFi password is usually displayed in plain text or hidden behind asterisks. In case it is hidden, you can click on the option to show the password.
4. Connect to WiFi: Now that you have retrieved the WiFi password, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable from your device and connect to the WiFi network using the password you found in the router settings.

By following these steps, you can easily retrieve your WiFi password even when you are connected via Ethernet. It's always a good idea to store your WiFi password securely to avoid any inconvenience in the future.
