Security Key

That phrase 'network security key' is somewhat vague and very generic. Perhaps it might make things more clear to us if you just stated what you're trying to do and, if it applies, what is the exacting wording of any error message that's popping up.
Offhand this sounds like you're trying to log into something like a WiFi network. But please elaborate.
 
Yes I am trying to hook my phone to my Phillips Television so that I can watch shows on it. I downloaded the wireless modem and I can't get it to work. Can you explain how I can get it to work?

Thank You.
 
OK so there's still a lot of ambiguity here. First off, what you're referring to as 'wireless modem' probably isn't applicable in this situation. A modem is a hardware device, often supplied by an ISP when you sign up for a broadband account. It's the transfer point in between the Internet and your home network (a typical home network consists of a router and a mix of computers, laptops, phones, multiple IoT devices that all connect to that router). What you're 'probably' referring to is instead a wireless router.
If you have an account with some ISP, you probably have a modem/router unit (both the modem and the router are in a combined, single appliance). Some people prefer to have a modem and a wireless router, two separate devices. But in either case, it's that wireless router that will provide you with a WiFi network for your home. In order to get your phone and your TV to detect each other, you need to get them both connected to your home network first.
-- What is the model I.D. of your Philips TV?
-- Do you have a home network, with WiFi, set up? (There are alternatives if you don't)
