I am trying to connect my mobile via WiFi connection(netgear router).I can locate the router on my mobile, but I think I have 4gotten the Pre-shared key for WLAN. Is there anyway that I can retreive the password of the router without changing the router settings??

Do you have a computer that will let you log into the administration pages of the router? If so, the wireless settings page may show the key.

Assuming you are running some recent version of Windows ...

- While connected to the router, select Run from the Start button on the task bar. This will open a Run dialog box.

- Type in cmd and press the Enter key. This will open a black command line screen.

- Type in IPCONFIG and press the Enter key. This will generate a short report.

- Look at the data under wireless adapter if the computer is using a wireless connection or look under Ethernet adapter if you are using a wired connection.

- You are looking for a line labeled "Default gateway" followed by four numbers separated by periods. Note that entire number.

- Click the "X" in the top right corner to close the command screen.

- Start your web browser on the computer and put the gateway IP address in the address bar in the form of http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn , where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the gateway address.

- You should then be prompted for a user name and password. This is not the same as the WPA passphrase. If you do not recall ever setting a password for the router, try admin for the user name and leaving the password blank.

- Once you are logged into the router, find the wireless configuration page(s) and see if they show the passphrase as plain text.
