How to Add a Computer to a Wireless Network Without the Network Key

Adding a computer to your wireless network without using a network key is easy. However, you must know that doing so will allow anyone in your neighborhood to access your WiFi, which can make you vulnerable to hackers.

Instructions

1. Log in to your hub computer as the administrator.

2. Open your Wireless Advisor. This is the program that you downloaded when you connected your hub computer to the wireless router.

3. In the Wireless Advisor window click on the "Actions" tab.

4. Under "Security," click on "Change wireless network security." The Wizard's window will pop up. Follow the Wizard's directions and keep on clicking "Next."

5. You will be prompted either to keep your wireless settings or override your current settings. Click on the radio button next to "Override" and click "Next."

6. Choose the option "Turn Off Wireless Security" and click "Next" to end the Wizard. Now any WiFi enabled device in your surroundings will be able to connect to your Network automatically.
