Having trouble putting my security code, I just received my Netgear router everything else went good until I had to put security code in,kept saying mismatch.
SOURCE: Netgear 824, security = intermittent WiFi connectivity
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I suggest you try:
1. Check physical connections.
a. Connect the modem to the Internet port of the router. The Internet “i” LED on the front of the router should light up.
b. Connect the computer to one of the four LAN ports (i.e port 1, 2, 3 or 4) on the back of the router. The corresponding port light where you connected the computer should be lit up.
2. Access the router's web-based utility.
a. Please open any web browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
b. Connect to the router by typing http://routerlogin.com/basicsetting.htm or http://192.168.1.1 in the address field and click Enter or Return key.
c. A window will prompt for a user name and password. By default, the user name is "admin" and the password is "password".
Note: If you were unable to access the router's web-based utility, you may reset the router to restore the settings to factory default.
To reset the router:
a. Please push the reset button at the back of the router and release after 30 seconds.
b. Unplug the power adapter for 10 seconds and then plug it back in.
3. Configure the router.
If your Internet Service Provider is using a cable connection, please follow the steps below:
a. Click on Basic Settings under Setup tab.

a. Click on Basic Settings.
b. Select Yes for Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login?.

4. Configure the wireless settings.
a. Click on the Wireless Settings under Setup.
b. Change the SSID to any unique name.
c. Scroll down, look for the Security Options settings and select WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
d. Set the Authentication type to "Automatic" and the Encryption Strength to "64bit".
e. Leave the Passphrase field blank, select Key 1 and enter a 10-digit number.
Note: The 10-digit number you typed in the key 1 will be the password or network key for the wireless connection.
f. Click Apply button to save the changes.
g. Go to Router Status under Maintenance tab and check if there is an IP address under Internet port. If it's 0.0.0.0, do a power cycle.
5. Power cycle.

What is the Operating system on the laptop ?
If it is XP then in the bottom right hand corner you will find Wireless network connection ( looks like 1 computer monitor). Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is windows Vista, then in the bottom right hand corner you will find 2 computer monitor icon. Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is Windows 98/ME/2000 then use the adapter utility to connect to the wireless network.
For MAC you will see the AIRPORT icon at the top.
Check the wireless settings of the router first . Make sure that you have all the wireless settings of the router. If you are not sure about the settings, then open the router set up and check the settings.

I don't know what the URL you gave is for. You access your router from your web browser (Firefox, IE, etc.) with address http://192.168.0.1 or //192.168.1.1 (depending on the model) from a computer connected to one of the router's wired ports. Unless you have changed them, the default username is admin and the password is password for most Netgear routers. A few models use a capital P in password, and some use 1234 as the password. But "admin" and "password" are most common.
Even if you can access the router, I'm not sure you'll be able to read your wireless security key. I don't think the Netgear routers display the key in plain text, but I may be wrong. It's been a while since I've set one up and I don't have one handy to check. If it does show plain text you're home free. Otherwise, the thing to do is reset the router by pressing the recessed RESET button on the rear panel, holding it for about 10 seconds and releasing it. The router will restart and all its settings will be back to factory defaults. This includes the router username and password, so if you can't access the router setup pages because you don't know them, this will solve that problem.
Once you've reset the router you can set up your wireless network again, and enter a new security key. This time write it down somewhere so you don't go through this again. I put a text file with all their information in it on machines I set up for people, then give it a name and extension (netstat.sys, for example) that doesn't make it obvious what the file is, but the customer knows where to look if they need it.
3. From the center screen, select your encryption type from under the Security Options heading.
hope this helps
