How to Change Network Key?

I have a Belkin G+. I'm trying to connect my iPod to wireless internet. The Network Key is too long for me to get all the letters correct. Can this Key be changed?How to Change Network Key?
Yes, you should be able to change your network key. To do this you need to get behind your router (Not Literally). The instructions I am providing are for computers running Windows.



NOTE: Do not literally stand behind the router :)



Open the Command Prompt by clicking on the Start Menu, then Run. In the text field in the run box type ';command prompt'; or ';cmd'; without quotation marks.



OR



Click Start Menu, then All Programs (Or in some cases programs), then Accessories. Command Prompt should be on that list if not check the Accessibility menu.



OR



Right click on your desktop, hover your mouse over new, when the menu appears click on Create a New Shortcut. The shortcut box is similar to the run box. Type ';command prompt'; or ';cmd'; without quotation marks and name it.



Once in the Command Prompt type:



ipconfig/all



When it has loading all your Internet Protocol Configurations look for the IP of the Default Gateway. You need to type the IP of your Default Gateway into the address bar in a web browser. You will be prompted to enter a password, if no password has been set then leave the password field blank. Otherwise enter your password.



NOTE: The password to access your routers settings not your network key. Unless otherwise.



Username: admin

Password:



Once in your routers settings navigate to the Wireless section then the Security section. You can then change your Network Key. If it is not there, search around. All routers are set differently.
