Enter PIN into Wireless Router
I just got the Storm 2 yesterday as a replacement phone for the Tour. I am trying to connect the S2 to my wireless network. When I try to connect, it says to "Enter this PIN into your wireless router." How do you do this?
I am using Verizon DSL and am using the Verizon's Modem/Wireless Router/Switch.
Thanks in advance! - 01-16-2010, 02:19 PM #2

That sounds more like a bluetooth connection. I know on bluetooth, you have to enter the code on the computer and the device.
I have never heard of that on Wi-Fi.Blackberry Storm 2, 9550, Verizon - 01-16-2010, 02:28 PMThread Author #4
It says that my Wireless Router accepts Protected Wireless Setup. Then it says to enter a specific PIN into the wireless router.

What kind of router? I have the same issue with my linksys. There is a set up ip address you enter into your browser to adjust the router settings but I have yet to find where exactly to put the pin and I don't know enough about it to just start entering random things everywhere and screw it up. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

You need to enter it in your modems settings screen. I think normally there's a specific address you enter into the address bar of your computers web browser to bring you to that screen. Try a search of the dot com for your brand of modem and settings screen and you can probably find the info on how to access it.

Thanks for the responses. I figured it out. There is a setting on the Verizon Modem/WIFI Router that is called a "Simple Configuration." I entered the PIN and then it authenticated my phone. But yes, this type of connecting reminds me of the way Bluetooth connects.

At what point in the process do you hit the back button? During manual connection? While the s2 is searching for the router?
- 01-16-2010, 04:35 PM #13 Cool. Thanks. I'll give that a try later. Waiting on a call right now. Originally Posted by BlitzedATL

This is for when you have WPS enabled on your router. To make things easier you can just enter in your pin as an extra safeguard on top of your WPA/WEP settings. Here is an example on my DLink 655

So what I did was cancelled the pin option, went back into the wifi options for set up, choose "manually add network" , then put in the name I use for my linksys router. ie. When you set up your router on your comp and you named it George411, that's what you would use in the manually add screen. It worked that way for me Originally Posted by skimore2020

just add that pin # to the admin page from your computer for your router. Its the same idea with bluetooth sharing. Once the # is entered, the connection will always be shared with your phone

- 01-17-2010, 10:53 AM #19 So if I may ask a question here, yourself and a few others have entered this pin thru the router this way. I've just gone in on the wifi options and added the name of my router to use it on my S2. Is there a huge difference in adding the pin # in or the way that I did it?

I guess with the pin entered into the router config, the relationship between the two seems more solid. But am not sure.

I have confirmed this by actually having my wifi main screen open and watching as it shows my S2 as actively connected and then when I turn it off, it shows it that my S2 is disconnected from my router.

I had the same problem as the original "poster" & tried everything.
I'm not someone who's constantly on my phone & I don't know a whole lot about them.
After reading the confusing words and fumbling aimlessly on my phone.
Even after calling tech support for my service provider (he had no ef-in clue)
I figured out that If I had just clicked "back" instead of "next" that it would offer me a chance to manually connect by typing in my router number.
My advice; If you're frustrated and have no clue, keep on messing with it. - 12-26-2010, 08:37 AM #25
on my router there is a pin on the bottom of it near the serial number
