    What OS are you running?

     

    There is no hardware WPS button on the TC.. you can use it via the airport uitlity.

     

    The latest utility has added it.

    It is also possible also in 5.6 utility.

     

    Start the manual setup.. go to the top menu.. it is not in the main box. Add wireless clients.

    That brings up a hidden page in the AU

    Personally I have always done it manually via the printer wizard and simply setup wireless in the printer as infrastructure mode with the correct wireless name and password/security settings..

     

    WPS is a security risk.. apple only initialise it when you bring up this menu.
