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.
