Pin number my new computer is asking for the pin number on my linksys broadband router. I have tried every number that is on the bottom of the router. Where can I obtain the number I am being asked for?

If its asking for a pin number I would check the sticker on the bottom of the router. it may have the router PIN you are looking for. If not trying typing in your internet browser address bar 192.168.1.1 and find the network settings and see if there is a pin set up, if so write it down or clear it to have no PIN

if you trying to connect to the wireless network on Windows VISTA ot Windows 7 computer ?
When you try to connect to the wireless network on VISTA / 7 computer then it will ask you for the PIN number. on the same window at the bottom you will find the option " I don't want to configure, I want to enter the key manually " OR " I don't know the PIN I just want to connect ". You will find this option at the bottom in very small letters. If you click on it, it will go to next step. on the next step you it will ask you for the security key if the network is secured.
If you don't know the key then you will need to access the router set up page.

When you say, "IT is asking for..." exactly what is "it?"
It sounds to me like you have a Linksys wireless interface (possibly USB) on your PC which assumes it is going to connect to a Linksys router, which would have that PIN code on it... but you don't own a Linksys router and therefore the whole PIN code protocol is futile.
Bypass the proprietary PIN code nonsense and enter the WEP or WPA password the installer gave you (if any; it's possible he didn't set any) to connect to your access point from your PC.

What's the model number of your router? It's on the bottom, there is also a Version number usually like V1 V2 V4 etc. If you see that number include that in your response.

Thanks!

There is no need for the pin number . If i am not correct you are using Windows vista ,
If you see underneath where its asking for the pin you will see the option like " i dont want to configure this network i just want to connect " OR i dont have pin i want to enter network key or passphrase " you need to click there and it will make you to connect with your router .

Please rate me ..thank you

Try to reset the router. This should resolve your problem. That model has a small hole were you must press with some a paper clip for exemple for a few seconds. This will reset the router to its original state.
