Are you saying you cannot click on it because it's grayed out?

 

You must first change the "Security" setting from WPA - Default Key to WPA - PSK I believe.

 

Then it should allow you to change the wireless password. I don't have a NVG510 so I cannot confirm.

I do not have a NVG510. On my RG the Network Key is listed on the home page, but it looks like that is not where it is changed. On the wireless page, there is a button for use the default & another for a custom key with a space to enter the custom key.

It is a nice idea to change the network security key in a while and you can treat it as password also.

your network security key is the key/password/passphrase used to add new devices to your network. It is, for all intents and purposes, a “password” to join your network.
