there are two keys on the router:
1. the password you need to log in to the router to make changes
2. the encryption keyword used to encrypt the wireless transmissions (WEP or WPA key)

if you have a PC that is currently connecting via wireless you can use this program to display the wireless key

you can also use the reset switch (a small hole in the back of the router) to reset the router to its factory defaults. You then can set a new key on the router and PCs.

Good Luck

If you log on to management page of Linksys WRT54G router, you can go to Wireless->Wireless Security tab to locate wireless encryption key.
