Hello ...
are you already check the router>?below router to find password/pin code
it have their pin code there.

Step 1:
Flip the device over.

Step 2:
You should find the model number on the sticker underneath the device. See the image below.

NOTE: Take note of the exact model number and version of your Linksys device. In this example, the model number of the device is WRT54G v5.

Step 3:
Check the serial number which is located right underneath the model number.

NOTE: The images may vary depending on the model number of your Linksys product. If there is no version number beside the model number it means the device is a version 1.

i'm trying to set up a new router for my wireless connection on an hp. in the area "device ownership password" i tried to enter the 10 digit number from the router but i received a message that says "check sum validation failed for pin entered". i cannot complete the set up because i cannot get past this point. please help!

Certain routers will not have a wps button on it...
You can go for the next options in your bluray...
You will have options to enter network key...(this is wireless network password)
Or you can configure using PIN number...(an 8 digit number printed at the bottom of wireless router)

But if u configured using wps or pin number, then the wireless settings on your router will get sync with bluray player... All your other wireless devices like laptops and iphones and gaming system will lose their connectivity to the wireless router...
so it is advisable to type the security password of your router in bluray player...

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router. If you are still not able to access router with above ip then you need to RESET it for that press RESET button for 10 seconds it is in back side of router then all settings defaults..Then you can access it with above method. . Then click on wireless->wireless security->WEP security there is code password note down it or enter new password then save setting s and restart router. then you can connect wireless with new password. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

You can find the security PIN on the device, at the bottom of the device. But if you are using Win Vista or Win 7, you can select the 2nd option on the page where it asks you for the PIN. The 2nd option would look like: I don't have the PIN, i would rather connect using using security key. This will be shown if you already have some security enabled on your wireless network. If its an unsecured network, The option would look like: I don't want to configure my network now, I just want to connect. Then you can connect with either the security or unsecured.

For further clarifications, revert!
Thanks for asking,

Are you trying to connect to the wireless network on the windows VISTA / 7 computer? Sometimes it willl ask you for PIN number. you don't need to enter the PIN number. On the same page you will get the option, I don't want to configure, i want to enter the key. click on it and it will go to the next step. if you network is secured then it will ask you for the network key. Enter the key and it will connect you to the network. If you are trying to add any other wireless device in the network then try to bypass this step and connect to the network manually.

Are you trying to connect to the wireless network on a WINDOWS VISTA / 7 computer? Sometimes on the windows vista computer , it will ask you for the PIN number when you try to connect to the wireless network. On the same window at the bottom you will find the option " I want to connect to the network or I want to enter the key manually". If you click on that option , it will ask you for the security key.
If you don't know the security key, then you will need to check the settings of the router. You will need to open the router set up page where you can check all the wireless settings of teh router. If you want, you can also find the PIN on the wireless settings page of the router.
If you are trying to connect any other wireless device to the network and it is asking you for the PIN then you will need to open the set up page of the router and under wireless settings you will find PIN.

You may need to upgrade your Router Firmware. Try going to the Netgear site http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/family/a_id/1297 and select your exact model. Version number is located on the sticker under the Router. Under the downloads section of your model, is a Firmware download. Download the latest version for installation. BE SURE that you connect your computer and router with a Network cable when upgrading the Firmware. DO NOT upgrade firmware over Wireless connection of you could fry the device. To login into the router console click http://192.168.0.1 and enter admin as the username, and password as the password. You will see an upgrade firmware section, point to the new Firmware file you have downloaded and follow the on screen prompts. You will need to setup your SSID and Encryption Password after the upgrade. Netgear Support will walk you through this these steps if you are uncomfortable performing them.
