Encryption key? i set up an encrypted wireless network at my house, and have forgotten the encryption code. I have a guest that would like to access my internet with his ipod, is there a way to find my key?

I thought there was a check box in this model that enabled you to see the password/key. If not then you may have to do a factory reset and set-up everything from scratch. Cannot remember if this model has a guest mode, but if the device you are connecting is not critical, TV, BlueRay, Roku etc, then enable the guest mode without a password to connect. These devices will NOT connect to other things on the network, but if they only need internet access it may be OK.

The network key is the wireless router's encryption key.
The WEP or WPA or WPA2 key is configured in the router's wireless setting.

Go to the wireless settings to view the network (encryption) key or create a new encryption key.

2. Start your browser and enter the router's configuration URL IP address.
3. Enter the router setup, login and password
4. Change the admin password
5. Go to the wireless settings and change the default SSID and turn off SSID broadcast.
6. Setup encryption key the strongest is WPA2 (if not then WPA). The encryption key can be easily set up using a passphrase (it can be an alpha numeric phrase or words).
7. For further security measures - turn on MAC address filtering and enter the MAC address of the wireless cards on the computer/s you want to connect to this wireless router.
8. Record the settings you have made and keep it in a safe place and Save the settings.
9. Configure the wireless cards on the computer/s with the SSID and encryption settings of the router.

a wep encryption is a code you setup apon startup of the network in order to only permit those who you deem fit able to use your wireless internet connection if its asking for one I would make sure that your signing into the proper network as alot have generic names linksys 1-20 and what have you if you know your connecting to the proper network and do not know what the wep could be most modems will have a pin size button in the back of it in order to restore the router to its factory defaults thus allowing you to reset your setting

How did you reset the wireless router back to the factory defaults?
Did you use the Reset button on the back of the D-Link?
The encryption setting is set in the router's wireless configuration.
After the router has been set to the factory default, connect a LAN cable to the wireless router and open IE browser and enter the configuration IP address (http://192.168.0.1) the default login = admin and the PW = blank (just press enter)
Then change to default password so it prevents anyone changing the router's wireless configuration.
The encryption default should be not be enabled.
Change the SSID so you and your guests can identify your wireless router.
You can enable encryption if you wish to prevent unauthorized access, but you need to advise your guests of the encryption key.

What key code are you referring to?
Is the code the encryption key?
The WPA2 or WPA or WEP encryption key is configured in the wireless settings of the Netgear wireless router.
This key is then used to configure the wireless card in the computer to allow access to the Netgear wireless and to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless router, network and Internet.

All wireless routers should have a hardware reset button, which will restore the device to factory settings. It is usually on the back and very small. You may need a pen or some thin object to press it.

Press and hold the button for a few seconds. The lights should flash or there should be some indication that the reset was successful. The router should now be just as it was the day you bought it. You will need to set up your network again.

After doing so, write down your key and keep it in a safe place! :)
