I don't know what type of wireless router you have (if any), but I can get
this info from my Linksys router by accessing it directly through a web URL.
I access my router with a web URL of 192.168.1.1 Then look under the
wireless settings. The network key is shown there. The method is likely to
be similar for your router.

Hi
You have to be more specific in what you are looking for.
The term Network Key does not really mean any thing.

Recommend you reset your router to its out-of-the-box configuration and
rebuild from scratch. And this time keep your passwords and keys in a safe
but findable place. :-)

As with the Linksys routers, netgears will allow you to see the whole WEP key
if you are using that, which although long can be used to get the connection
up or if you are using WPA/WPA2 you can read it from the wireless config page.
