How to find your Wi-Fi password?

 Find your Wi-Fi password in 5 easy steps.

WIFI stands for Wireless Fidelity. It’s a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide high-speed internet and network connections. Wi-Fi operates on two primary frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

The 2.4 GHz band provides longer range but slower speeds, while the 5 GHz band offers faster speeds but shorter range. You may find these options in the landing page of your router’s website. In the homepage, do click on ‘Connections of Multimedia devices’ or a closely related tab. You might come across a picture like the one below.

Do you notice the 2G and 5g connections for the wireless mode?

Now, let’s start with finding your Wi-Fi password. (Also, do not miss the bonus tip at the end of the article.)

STEP 1 — Press the Windows key + I key together. You will see this page popping up. On this page, do click on ‘Network and Internet’.

STEP 2 — Click on ‘Network and Sharing Center’ as shown below. I have indicated it using an arrow mark.

STEP 3 — Once you have clicked on it, you will find the below page open up. Do click on the link that showcases the name of your wireless connection. There is an arrow mark indicating the same.

STEP 4 — Next, the Wi-Fi Status dialogue box will open. Do click on the Wireless Properties tab as shown in the diagram below.

STEP 5 — Lastly, the Wireless Network Properties box will open. Click on the ‘Security’ tab at the top and then check the box that says ‘Show characters’. You have finally seen your Wi-Fi password.

Now, coming to the Bonus Tip I promised to give you’ll.

If you had closed your main browsing page accidently, you do not have to visit your history and open them again. Here is a tip. Let’s work with diagrams.

Not to worry. Open a new tab by click on your internet browser be it Google Chrome or Firefox or Microsoft Edge. Open a new tab and right click on the blank space next to it. You will find a drop down option, and select ‘Reopen closed tab’ as shown below. All the tabs reappear, saving you a ton of time and effort. This can be done even after you have shutdown your laptop/computer and have just switched it on.
