What does this button do on our modem?

[Mr Technician]

It looks like a WPS button, which allows you to connect devices without putting in the password for 30 seconds or so after you press it.

[manikyath]

it activates the self-destruct sequence.

 

joking aside, look in the manual?

Then yes, as mentioned earlier it is indeed a WPS button

It removes security temporarily so you can connect stuff like printers easily without entering passwords.

So basically don't use it.

 

Also, manuals for almost everything can be found online for free, fyi.

Or you could also google 'button on modem" to find an answer faster.

sweet thankyou. I was hoping it was some sort of quick restart button but that works too.
