Netgear WPS problems?

[desertcomputer]

For some reason why is WPS wizard grayed out? I cant seem to find WPS configuration in the drops-downs options. I need to check configuration, because my printer won't connect and gives me connection failed.

If i remember correctly, you have to enable WPS through the "Advanced Setup" tab.

 

This may give you a drop down menu, click on "WPS Wizard" to start setting up some basic settings.

 

Can you please give us your Netgear model?  This can help us, help you better.  As for me, your Netgear model may be different to the ones I've used.

Thats dumb. My HP printer just asks for the WPA password and connects.

It's only a risk if it is on for more than ~1h

My printer doesn't have interference on the printer. 

 

I fix the problem, i went digging for the drivers of printer which allows me install via usb first and than setup through wifi. I also have to get wifi donge to connect my network. In the end i fix the problem.
