When you set up your wireless network a wpa , wep or wpa2 security key is generated for secrity of the wireless signal so that just not anybody can gain access to your network. To see what the wireless security key is go to the computer that is connected to the wireless network and open the control panel. Select Nework and Internet and then next select Homegroup , next select view and print the Homegroup password. The next page will have the password.
