Network security key?

    • I would like to use my notebook with my daughter with WiFi.

    No problem until 3 months ago.

    Now suddenly a “network security key” is required.

    Where can I find it?

    All searches end in old, no longer valid advice.

    The router is physically unreachable. So “pressing a button” is almost impossible.

    Strangely enough, my daughter’s notebook still has Wi-Fi capability.

    Thanks and greetings Jürgen N.?

    • Thanks for the advice. I got it.

      But: the execution is the problem.

      E.g. the iPhone 12. All instructions on the internet no longer work.

      In the end, only deleting and “rebuilding” helped.

      The password could not be “changed”.

      Hi Jürgen N

      Where exactly is this required?

      Basically, in most cases this means the “WLAN password”.

      If you no longer know this, you can find it in MySwisscom https://www.swisscom.ch/myswisscom/d?useCase=viewInternetHub by clicking on

      I would “forget” the WLAN on the laptop and re-register the laptop with the password.

      Some time ago Swisscom (correctly) increased the WLAN encryption by default from WPA2 to WPA2/WPA3 (in compatibility mode). I can well imagine that this is why the laptop asks for it again.

        Thanks for the answer.

        In the meantime, only one thing has happened, and not for the better. 😩

        “My Swisscom” reported to me that the **Wi-Fi password was not accepted because it was “too simple”. Don’t have any “big letters”.

        So I changed this.

        Now WiFi no longer works at all.

        Neither notebook nor iPhone nor Android.

        The router has been reloaded.

        Bluewin Support now claims I have to use the new password in all WiFi devices

        change. So also in the iPhone and Samsung cell phone?!?

        If yes, how? I can’t believe it.

        Thanks and greetings

        Yes, that’s logical.

        It’s like a residential building. If you change the main entrance lock, everyone who has access must get a new key.

        Simply try to connect to the WLAN with all devices (assume the name of the WLAN is still the same), then it will be recognized that the previous key no longer fits and a key entry will be requested > enter the new key there, done
