If you didn't set one; there might be one on the box or printed on the bottom/back of the router 
Or you could go the router config way 
Go to run, type command prompt.
When that comes up; type in "ipconfig".
Then look for IPv4 address :192.xxx.x.x
Type the number into your browser.
And the it should take you to your router page;
That's how I do it anyway.

ipconfig will give you the ip address of your machine not your router. However your router will be very similer. e.g. 192.168.1.10 or .1 etc

more than likely on the back of your router, or a card that came with the router...
unless it has been manually changed...

so have you managed get a screen similar to what i posted up?
if you have the default gateway that should be your routers ip address. put that into the internet explorer address bar.
When you are in your router is there a bit down the right hand side that says wireless?

I'll try.
Go to your router page.
It should say in there somewhere. Honestly.

There should be something else there stating your WEP.
What code did you enter to get onto your network?
use that one
