Real answer is BOTH if the above assumptions are true.

The first one secures your router to keep people from changing your router config.

The second secures the PC to your network. One without the other is virtually useless... You might be able to argue the router password is more important but to me - it is both to a equal level.
thank you so much for your reply CylonRed
if someone can hacked and passed through the login password by any means once inside the router that someone has the total control of my router changes can be easily made
hope i am wrong here
i am not disputing with your kind reply just my thought
thanks again

just wondering between the password in the login


Is this the password for the router by any chance?

and the shared key in security


I would assume the above is for the WEP or better yet WPA(2) security...
