I have wireless Tp-link 300 Mbps router. I am trying to hook up my new pc to it. It is asking for a security key.

None of my numbers work. I am running my Samsung galaxy off it so I know the router works. My old pc ran on it wirelessly too.
Where do I find the security key?

Any way around this key?

If you are connecting wirelessly, and the network requires authentication (WPA-2/WPS/etc.) you would need to use the key that you either created or was assigned by default on the router. Otherwise, if you connect your PC directly to the router, you wont need any authentication.
