Hello @Bennyboy.
Network security key is the Wi-Fi password, range extender uses the same Wi-Fi password after it successfully connects to the router.
If router's Wi-Fi password does not work, or you have forgotten the password, try to factory reset the range extender and set it up as instruction here.
