Some later model wireless routers have the Password(ie.Encryption key) and the SSID already configured in the wireless router andthis information is printed on a label on the bottom of the router.
These settings can be used to configure the wireless card and wireless adaptersin your computer/laptop.
If these settings do not suit you, then it can be changed to suit yourrequirements.
The encryption key secures your data and wireless connection from unauthorizedaccess.To configure the wireless settings in the router, connect a LAN cablefrom your computer to the wireless router, then open a Browser on your computerand enter the router's configuration IP address, then enter the admin login andpassword and then go to the wireless settings and configure the SSID andEncryption key.
The router's encryption key can be a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA or WPA2key.If you use the Passphrase method select either WEP or WPA or WPA2 togenerate the encryption key. You can enter the WEP or WPA or WPA2 key with 8 to63 ASCII characters or 64 Hex digits.
Most people use Passphrase which is easier to remember eg. I was born inJanuary 1988.
The strongest and latest security is WPA2, the weakest and oldest is WEP. Toconnect to your wireless router from the computer/laptop, configure thewireless card in your computer/laptop with the router's wireless settings ieSSID, plus the WPA or WPA2 encryption key. Then computer/laptops cancommunicate with your wireless router.http://www.fixya.com/support/r10267861-network_security_key

What is the WPA Key

The WPA key is the passphrase or key that is entered into the router to make the wireless connection secure. No one will be able to access the wireless net work unless they know the WEP key when they try to connect to the wifi netowrk.

Unplug the modem network cord from the router, make shure nobody need internet access at the time.

Then access the 192.168.1.1, and it should be the router.
In the Router GUI, change it's address to somethign else.
(192.168.1.X) where X= something between 2 and 254)

Save settings and plug the modem back into the router.

Greetings - Most likely the router is setup with a certain security type, such as WEP or WPA of which there are several types each.

Your laptop and Ipad have to be setup for the same kind of security as the router then the security key will work.

If you setup the router you have to log back into the router settings and see what kind of security is setup and what the login password is. If you didn't setup the router the person who did has to tell you what the security settings on your devices should be.

Good Luck and Thank you for using Fix Ya.

Trying to secure my tp link router

You need to access your router setup and admin pages.

At START, RUN, type in CMD. This will open DOS dialog box. at the >prompt, type ipconfig. Look at the data returned, Your are looking for the Default Gateway. It will be like 192.168.1.1 or some other sequence.

in your browser's address bar, enter this number. This opens the router set up/admin page. default login should be user:admin, password:admin.

I don't have the model number of your TP Link router. Find yours at TP Link. You need to change your Newwork name (SSID), your user name and your password. Change also your wireless security to WEP.
All of this should be in your manual or on line.

The picture below shows the WEP change.

Good Luck

Your wireless network is secured and thats why its asking for the network key. If you dont remember the same, contact your router manufacturer or ISP and get the router reconfigured
