Click Start --> Run
Next to "Open:" type: cmd
Click "OK"
At the flashing curser type: ipconfig
Hit enter
Find where it says "Default Gateway....:" write down the number to the right. (Most likely 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or something close)
Open Internet Explorer
Once Internet Explorer is open and loaded, hit the F6 key, and this will select the text in the address bar, delete the text, and type in that number you wrote down.
Click Go or hit Enter, and you will goto your routers page.
Most likely at this point you will be asked for a Username/Password this can be a number of different things, by default, it is usually (admin/admin, admin/password, admin/(blank), admin/1234, either refer to the manual that came with your router, or ask the person who set it up.
Once you get the right username and password, you will be at your routers main page.
I suggest not changing any information here as you can mess up your connection, but you can view all the settings without harming anything.
Usually you will have a setting on top or on the left of the page called Wireless, this is where you will find the routers SSID/Network Name and much more information.
But like others have said, if you just need to know the name, simply put your cursor over the wireless icon in the system trey (where the clock is) or click Start --> Connect to --> Wireless Network Connection, and the SSID is listed to the right of "Network:"

The SSID is normally set on the Wireless device that you are trying to connect to. But you can see which setting you have by going to the Available Wireless Networks, then checking which one your computer is already set to, at which point you can change it or add a new one if you are trying to connect in another location

It's not on your computer, it's on your router or access point. If SSID broadcasts are enabled on your router or access point (they're enabled by default on virtually all SOHO class routers & access points) then you don't need to do anything special to connect to your wireless.

Look at the name of your internet connection icon in your tool bar at the bottom of your screen. It is the name of your wireless network.
