WPA2 pass phrase or network key?!

Edwin A.Mercado · May 23, 2019

This topic is requesting help for my xbox 360. I purchased and downloaded the "World of Tanks" game about two weeks ago. Today 5/22/19 the asked me to download an update and I did so. When it restarted xbox and when trying to start the game it wouldn't
come on. So, I started troubleshooting and found that the uPnp needed to be change. I finally found where to click on this and trying everything requested it still would not let me get the update. Then they said the "LAN" if on "moderate", whatever that
means, I couldn't fix the problem and could correct the problem. After troubleshooting for the last five hours with my xbox, it finally asked me if I wanted to "restore to factory default" and I clicked Yes. What a mistake! In order for me to get into my
xbox system, I need to enter "the WPA2 PASS PHRASE or key for the network". Being that I am no computer system expert, I have no idea what that is or where to find it. Can someone please help this old man.

It's looking for the password to your wifi router or gateway, there might be a label on the router. If you do not know this info or where to find it you might be able to contact your internet provider for assistance. Or if you had someone help you set up
the system and connect your phones, tablets, or computers to the network they may be able to set you up as well.

The pass phrase you are looking for is on your wireless router. If you have access to it, simply log in and look for it. If not visible, change it to something you can remember. Once done, you'll need to reconnect any other wireless devices in your house,
if you changed the password.

As the others have said, it's the passwords to do with your Wifi connection. It's basically needing access to get around the security on your wifi so it can go online.

Hi there,

it's the 'code' to be able to connect to the wireless network, if you haven't changed it yourself then it might be the default one available from your ISP (Internet provider), which sometimes means that the 'code' is mentioned on the Modem/Router supplied
by the ISP. If there is nothing mentioned on the modem/router then you could try contacting your ISP to see if they can provide it for you.

Or if a friend or family set it up for you, reach out to them, they might be able to find it for you.

As alternate option, if you have a PC, Phone or laptop that is also using the WiFi network, you might be able to see the 'code' on there too, but I'm not sure it is always possible to see it.
