How do I find my WPA/WPA2 key for wireless connection of PS3?

Anonymous

My PS3 needs the WPA/WPA2 key from either my PC network, or from the router.  Everything I have tried has failed.  I am worried that my own PC network assigned a new WPA key to my router, and I am unable to locate this key.  Is there a universal default key?   Is this something that I may have unknowingly set up myself?  Would it be easier to just start a new home network and assign new keys?  Please help!!

    You will have to log into your Router and see if the Security Key is available for viewing.

    If not, as you say, it would be easier to reset the Router to Factory Settings and start again.

    We can not help you to find missing Security Keys:

    thank you for the fast response.  Is the info for router login on the device itself?

    Hi

    You can find the Router's logon credentials (ID & PW) on the support site of the manufacturer or the instructions manual.

    Log to your Router menus (read the manaul).

    Configure in the Router's Wireless security section with a new passphrase (key) , and use the new passphrase for what ever needs Wireeless key.
