Pin number
I have a nighthawk R6120 all devices connect except my laptop. It's asking for an 8 digit pin. Where do I find this?
Not dumb really. The problem starts with the way that the IT world talks about things like passwords.
"security key", "passphrase", you name it. Different people use different words.
That Netgear uses the password word for wifi, getting into the router, entering this place and various other things doesn't help.
Here's a sentence from one of Netgear's manuals:
"The security key is also referred to as the WiFi passphrase or WiFi password."
Every reason to be confused.
It's kinda dumb I guess on my part under the box that kept asking for the pin it said something about logging in with security key I entered the router pass word and that was it. Like I said it was so simple I was over thinking the whole thing I guess. But thanks again for your help
