password on wireless modem/router

I need to know where I can find the password for the wireless option. currently I have everyting hardwired. I purchased one additional printer but have no more ports at my router. Also I purchased a smart Phone which requires a password to be entered from my moden/Router.

Can someone please tell me where to find the password/ code on the moden?

       Someplace on your (unspecified) wireless router?

       Buy a cheap network switch, and connect it to your (unspecified)
    "my router"?  What is your "my router"?

       Not a very detailed description of anything.

       That's typical of a wireless client device.

       Nowhere?  It's not a modem (MOdulator/DEModulator) qustion; it's a
    wireless router question.

       That's a modem only, not a router.  If your (unspecified) router is a
    Netgear product, then visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your
    (actual) model number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.
    Read.  Look for some topic like "Specify Basic WiFi Settings".
