Which password is this? The default for the wifi on the router label?
Can other wifi clients connect to this wifi?
What message do you see when you try to connect the new phone?

As you can see, there are plenty of holes in the information you provided. I can think l of other things that could cause problems, but best deal with these first.

How many devices can you use with a netgear44?There is no such things as a "netgear 44". That is probably the default SSID for your router.
Is that what you see on the router's label?
There will also be the default wifi password there. The label also has the model number for your router:
What is it? And what is the modem/gateway in front of it?
