R6300v2 connecting smart tv magnavox
I'm trying to connect my TV to wireless. It says to put pin number in the router settings. I can't figure out where to put the pin number when I go to settings.

Which TV model?
Connecting a "smart" TV is usually down to working your way through the configuration screens.
In general these devices are incredibly dumb.
If you have a TV with a LAN port, I would seriously consider that option, perhaps with Powerline Ethernet. Much less flaky than wifi.

Well done. What was the trick for you? It might help someone who turns up with the same challenge.

It took me 1.5 hours and I can't begin to tell you how because I have almost 0 skills. I used Netgear Genie ..configured the internet and then the wireless. However, every time I go back to TV..the connections are lost and I have to do something again..I think it's the TV.
