If you have a recent Mac.....


Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility


Click on the AirPort icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears


Click the Base Station menu up at the top of the screen


There is a setting for Add WPS Printer there, but it should work for vitually any WPS device


Choose the First Attempt option as a substiture for a button, which the AirPort does not have

If all else fails, then you will need to use the manual connection method suggeted by Netgear, not the WPS method.
