I need to change the WEP key on my Windows8 laptop.
The typical instructions are to open the list of wireless connections (Control Panel=>Network and Internet=>Connect to a Network), and right-click on your connection to open connection properties.
When I do that, right-clicking on my WLAN does nothing at all (left clicking merely opens a panel with 1 option, "connect automatically).
I suspect this may be permissions related, but I only have 1 user on this laptop, and it is Admin user.
Hardware is Toshiba laptop with Realtek WLAN chip (RTL8188CE).
Adding the connection from "Network and Sharing Center"=>""Set up a new connection"=>"Manually connect" doesn't work since I already have that network as existing, so it offers "choose a different name" (not what I need) or "Use existing network" (small font link to "Connect to a network dialog") - the latter does NOT work when clicked (nothing happens).
What are my next best steps to troubleshoot?
