Can't get the Linksys Router's list of Network Security Settings
The router has a built-in web-server.
So, just connect your web-browser to that web-server,
select the correct page, and click PRINT.

Bought a new laptop and having trouble connecting to the internet, it keeps asking for a security key, I have tried all the numbers on the bottom of the router but nothing works, could you please tell me...
Your security key is usually in brackets on the bottom of the router. If a key was not provided with the router, you might want to call your internet service provider and ask them what it is. Also, the security key (password) for the router could have been changed at one time from the number that is on the bottom of the router.

Security of wireless network
You can directly connect your computer to the router thorugh the routers "internet" port and then re-run setup. OR you can type the IP address of the router into your address bar (the default is tipically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) and then enter the router username and password (I believe the Belkin default is username:"Admin" password:"Password") in the admin control planel look for a "wireless security" tab. You can then define your wirelss security settings there. Just remember to configre the same settings on all devices that will connect to the router.
