the pin code is on the label in the back of the unit ...my is 45216909..but once I used this code, my wireless still recognize the pin..any solution? When attempting to network my computers, I was prompted to enter an 8-digit pin which is supposedly found on the bottom of the router. It wasn't, of course. So I called Belkin (877 736 5771) and was told that they could assist in resetting my router's pin, to effect a bypass which would allow me to network, in the absence of m router pin. I didn't proceed for unrelated reasons. Anyway, if you don't have your pin, and need it, call Belkin. 'Hope this helps.
