What am awesome username, inspired by the simpsons?

what are you looking for? setting up a wireless router etc or just connecting to a wireless network?

Windows has a built in wireless program called wireless zero configuration, it should show in the task bar at the bottom when you have installed your wireless card, double click that and choose which network you want to connect to

obviously you'll need the password for the network your trying to access, unless its unsecured

Are you trying to recover a key on your own router? or someone elses? if its your own tell us what make/model it is and we may be able to tell you how to find out your key, usually putting 192.168.1.1 will take you to the router settings, you just need to know the username/password

if its someone elses, well, i guess the above!
