    Hello,

     

    Can you verify for me what model is the router?

    The PIN would be a WPS PIN - the security key is the same password as you would enter for adding another system e.g. a mobile to the router.

     

    Pretty much unrelated to the community section - your router is unlikely Netgear. Insight managed.
