You need the WEP or WPA key for the router. Ask your brother!
i need serious help =(
Yes. But this is a computer forum.
You'll need the following information:
- username and password for accessing the AirPort BaseStation (or other wireless router)
- SSID (station ID, i.e. wireless network name) and password for accessing that network.
- probably you'll also need to know whether the wireless network is secured by "WEP" or "WPA" encryption. If so, the password you have to enter is either a 26-character Hex-key (e.g. 00 E5 A1 55 3F A4, etc) or a phrase or word in regular text (e.g. "this_is_my_password", although such a passwort would be a very weak one, though).
Without any information at all, you could only try to reset your AirPort BaseStation and setting up all the stuff for yourself - which is not too complicated but should be avoided when possible.
Good luck!
