How can I connect my Macbook Pro via my wireless router to my Samsung Smart TV?

My new Samsung TV allows me to connect via "SmartHub" to a network. The connection from the TV to my wireless router works fine and the connection from my Macbook Pro to my wireless router works fine. However when I try to create the link the TV asks me to press the WPS PBC button on the device i want to connect to, i.e. the Macbook. Can anyone advise how I can get round this as I know there is know WPS PBC button on the Macbook.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I'm only aware that Apple has provided limited WPS support on their 802.11n AirPort base stations and is pretty much designed to work with Leopard or later OS X versioned Macs. You will know that the base station is configured to listen for WPS clients, because its status light will be blue.


When a Leopard / Snow Leopard Mac attempts to connect to the AirPort base station (pre-configured for WPS), the Network Name would appear as a bolded entry in the Mac's AirPort list. And depending on how WPS is configured (PIN or First Attempt) on the base station, the client would either would get a dialogue box with the PIN required. This PIN would need to be entered in the appropriate box in the AirPort Utility.
