Using a Lenovo Thinkpad 450s laptop with 256GB SSD and 8MB RAM on both LM17.2 Cinnamon and Windows 8 (dual boot)
When I try to access WiFi on my TP-Link _7A7B545 wireless router I get an dialogue box saying that Authentication required (see attached screenshot)
My question; Where do I find the information required. All I have on the base of the router is the MAC Address (F81A677A7B54) Entering this does nothing bu tell me it is incorrect
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

Somewhere in the documentation for your router there must have been a pass key/ password listed. every router has one.
I'm not familar with that brand, but on mine here you can login to a webpage where you can login as admin and change the password.
If this is a rented router from your ISP then call their help desk, they should know the router password.

Hope you find it.
Thank you. I found the appropriate spot in the router set-up menu and entered and saved a password. All is now sweet and I have marked the subject as solved.
