I think you need to access your router via your notebook. Whilst this may be the correct solution, I of course have no idea how to do it!

which is where?

i went into the advanced properties of the network connection and it shows the network key blocked out, so i can change thing on this computer using my network key but i can't see what the network key is. anywhere.

Check on the router - some companies slap a sticker with it on underneath or on the side.

Failing that, it should be somewhere in the documentation you got with it.

Failing that, what model router is it?
