@alan120   No.    Your EE account password has no relevance to Wi-Fi passwords.    Every router that allows you to join the Wi-Fi signal of that router has its own password,  this is usually printed on the router in question.

Thanks for reply, As you may have guessed I'm new to all this, not sure what a router is or how to find it and it's password, Hope it's simply to do, can you help ?, Alan

@alan120 : The router is the box with flashing lights providing WiFi within your home. You should find its WiFi password written on a label stuck to it.

 

Do you have Broadband from EE?

Thanks for your reply, I have Virgin Media on my pc, and that's the only wifi I have managed to connect to my iphone. The reason I got this phone is to fill in plf form when on holiday in Spain. I assume Virgin wifi would not be available in Spain. That's why I'm looking for alternative provider, My phone has a ee sim card pay as you go. EE has appeared on phone settings as a wifi alternative but is asking for a password that I have no idea how to get. Somebody has mentioned a site or app called Keychain. any advise would be great. Alan

I don't understand how you can have Virgin Media on a PC. Have you bought Broadband from Virgin Media? Have you bought Broadband from EE?

 

Describe your complete set-up, not just your devices. Do you have a socket on the wall that you plug a cable into? Does that cable go to a box with flashing lights? If so, what does a label on it give its name & model no.? Post an image of that box.

 my set up is with virgin broadband on pc. I have nothing but a sim card from EE for my iphone. my problem is nothing to do with pc at all. it's about getting wifi on my phone. I'm being asked for a password from various  suppliers and have no idea how to find one

I don't understand you. How can you have Virgin Media BB on a PC? I can't help you unless you answer all my previous questions.
