    If you mean data, you can share data by plugging a USB charging cable from your phone to a USB port on your laptop. If you're running Windows on the laptop, click My Computer and then click your phone.

    The network security key is a password that any user must enter to use your network. A router's default network key can generally be found on a sticker somewhere on your router.
