Re: My new printer wants my Encryption key - where do I find that?
What is that printer? What Netgear device are you trying to connect it to?
Is that over wifi, Ethernet or USB?
The usual way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.
The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball.
Where possible, using the WPS feature can simplify things.

Re: My new printer wants my Encryption key - where do I find that?
The encryption key for your printer is typically your Wi-Fi password or network security key, used to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. You can usually find this key on a label located on your Wi-Fi router, often labeled as "WPA Key," "WEP Key," or "Wi-Fi Password." If it's not there, you can access your router's admin page through a web browser, where you'll find the password in the wireless settings section. Alternatively, you can contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance or check device documentation if you've previously connected a device to the network. If all else fails, you may need to reset your router to its default settings, but this should be a last resort as it will reset your network name and password to defaults, requiring reconfiguration of all connected devices.
