If you're still lost push reset until power LED flashes then use default settings on same label Under Security Options, select a radio button for one of the following WPA options: WPA-PSK [TKIP] WPA2-PSK [AES] WPA-PSK [TKIP} + WPA2-PSK [AES] WPA/WPA2 Enterprise NETGEAR recommends changing the default password to increase the security of your network.
WEP is hackable and WPA isn't as strong as WPA2.
Select Wireless.
Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type.
So most likely the key you are referring to is the one used in the router and the one that's needed for the client to connect.
I always read the manual and read this one several times.
If you forget your password, see if it's printed on your router.
Okay, I have absolutely no idea how to find my WPA2-PSK [AES] key. Sorry for the frustration.
Thanks
Can you tell me on what page I can find the information and how to access the WEP key?? Thanks for the reply.
A WPA key is another name for a wireless network password.
I'm not sure what installation software you are referring to, as neither the router or the computer needs software to be installed.
Where do I go to find it?in the wireless setup in the router if you didn't change it from the default it's on the router label on bottom or back of router.If you're still lost push reset until power LED flashes then use default settings on same label
The "Key" or "Passphrase" should be a randomly generated 'password' that allows wireless clients, like your Desktop that you want to connect wirelessly, access to the router. If it's your network, only share it with people you trust.
I have the latest firmware on 4000. I need to connect another desktop PC wirelessly to the router.
In a wireless network, the WPA key is a password that protects the network from outside intruders. Reset the router to factory settings to restore the original password.
I have looked everywhere.
The installation SW is asking to enter WEP or WPA keys.
Unless you are referring to the drivers, but it's doubtful that would require a key.
The default user name is admin.
The "Passphrase" needs to be typed exactly the same on all wireless devices, including the router.

The default password is password.
If a wireless router is set up with WPA encryption, you need the WPA key for network access and to make changes to the settings of your network. Under Security Encryption (WPA-PSK) > Passphrase, enter a passphrase.
Enter the router username and password when prompted.
Under Security Options, select WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key).
Select Wireless Settings from the Setup menu in the left-hand navigation bar.
WPA stands for Wi-fi Protected Access. How do I find them? Obtain it from whoever runs the network. Re: How to find the WPA2 Key in the wireless setup in the router if you didn't change it from the default it's on the router label on bottom or back of router.
