is this the key i make up myself or is this the key the router makes up after it has generated the key because it comes up with 4 keys after i have put in a word to generate.please advise me
You enter in some word, say "CHICKEN" and that word is used to generate four keys as you've noticed. If you use the default settings than only the first key is actually needed for windows (you can change it so that it uses a different key but lets do one thing at time)

i have put a word in the passphrase is it this word I have to match the laptop adapter to or is it 1 of the 4 keys the router comes up with I have tried both bot the laptop adapter will not log onto the network.maybe I should return back to factory settings and start again
Usually its the first of the four keys .
