Where is the 8-digit PIN for my WNDR4500?
My windows based laptop Is asking me for an eight digit code for my W 900 to connect to the Internet. I have Wi-Fi on my phone and TV, I just can't find this digit number anywhere and nobody seems to know where or what it is exactly. HELP!

To use WPS to connect, try reading the manual for the WNDR4500.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Check the section in the manual WPS Wizard
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.By the way, the WNDR4500 dates back to 2013, several generations behind current technology.
Just another user with time on their hands.
