I am now working part time as an installer of CaptionCall video phones

A very neat device for older folks!
Often the phones are hard wired to a router near a computer, BUT, just
as often the client wants the phone in another room so a wireless router
is needed. The catch is that the client often owns a wireless router
with some kind of encryption. The phone firmware will find the router
and lets me pick the connection method and encryption method,
BUT(second, very big but), I have to manually enter the WEP (or
equivalent) code and very often the client has no real clue what it is.
Yes, I look on the bottom of the router and sometimes there is an
accurate code, but many times that has been changed. I know I can often
query the router via a browser using 192.168.1.1 but that does not
always work and even if it does I do not like to mess with client
equipment (what if I accidentally change something). Furthermore
sometimes the codes are hidden. SO...
Is there a program or easy method to get the code info from wireless
routers? Program needs to be USB stick portable. Could be from the
"cloud" if it is from a legit place.
Links?? Experience(s).
I, obviously, am not very experienced with this particular aspect of the
installation.

If you have access to an existing wirelessly networked PC and can log
in with admin rights, then this program may help you.

If not, then perhaps this is an opportunity to upsell the customer on
a dedicated access point solution, where the new AP is hardwired to
the existing router and since it's new, you get to assign the channel
(to avoid interfering with existing wireless networks), encryption
type, and encryption key.
It'll be interesting to see what others come up with.
