Where's WPS button?
I rebooted my Q Box. Onscreen message tells me to press and hold down WPS button on modem. Sadly my modem has no WPS button. System times out, so what to do next? Fed up.

Re: Where's WPS button?
On your wifi router, not modem (though some are a single box). It will almost certainly have a WPS button. If it's not an old school Sky router, wps won't work though.

Are you sure? Unless it's very old there should be one. Check the sides of the router, as well as the back and front panels.

I am disabled and can't get to it myself. As soon as my wife gets back I will ask her to check it over. The only button so far found is a tiny red recessed button, which reboots the moderm.

If it's a Sky one, it's on the edge/side

Is 12 or 15 years considered as old? Because that is how long we have had it. It was provided by Sky.

The models still in support are:
2013 Sky Hub
2016 Q Hub
2019 Sky Broadband Hub
2023 Max Hub
All of those have WPS buttons somewhere.
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2

Well if they do you might end up with a Max router that works even worse with Q

Re: Where's WPS button?
They will all have the same problem as the sky max router. Lack of integrated Q mesh networking.
I'm sure your current one must have a wps button.

It is on the right hand side of router, on the edge of router.

It's on the right hand side of the router, near the bottom. You can't miss it
