Hi jwil
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
If you still have the preset wireless settings, please look for a label says "Network Key (Password)" on the bottom part of the router.
You can also retrieve the password by accessing the router settings page. Here's the reference link How to view or change WiFi password?

Community Teamthe bottom gives me a password but nothing that says security key. i tried the password and it does not work, so I have no clue what it is wanting from me. hate to take the computer in and pay someone to only find a simple solution to this.
