Sorry, am complete teck novice without IT support at work!
You only need to enter it on each wireless device once-the device then 'remembers' it. Any new device requires the wi-fi code, so when you first connected the laptop wirelessly, you must have entered that code.
If you connect via ethernet (cable) to the 'broadband thingy' (router) then no wireless key is required.No free lunch, and no free laptop
