Windows 7 is asking for Router's pin number, but my router doesn't have one

After I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 I go to My Network places to access the router. It shows that it sees a "wireless g router"
when I click on its properties or just try to open it it says something like "look at the number on the router on the bottom" its supposed to be on the sticker or somewhere there. I tried all numbers and nothing works.

I checked in other forums and someone has same problem but no answer. How can I solve this? or disable this check? whats going on?

actually I just tried it and I dont know what to say, but the option to see the "wireless G" router doesn't even come up anymore. Maybe you could tell me how to find it now?

Basically I click on Start ->Network
there I see: my computer "name-pc"
"wireless-G Router" showed yesterday

I know that the router is connected and works, but how can I set up printer sharing, is not clear.

Ok, after I performed refresh and selected "search for wireless devices" this appeared
Below are two images that illustrate what path I've taken to be asked for a pin
