    I personally have a dislike for WPS buttons...  It's always best to enter the password of the wifi network when trying to connect...

    That aside, your device may not support the Wifi Encryption method the HT2000w uses by default, this could be due to the age of the device, or software of the device.  In the case of a Wireless adapter for your computer, please make sure you have the latest drivers installed.  You can usually download the drivers from the manufacture of your computer, or of the wireless adapter.

    3: You will be presented with a logon screen, the default password is admin

     

    4: Select either 2.4Ghz, 2.4Ghz Guest, 5Ghz, or 5Ghz Guest, which ever network your device is trying to connect to
    5: Select the WPA Mode and set to WPA/WPA2 - the Cipher Suite should change from AES to TKIP+AES

Thank you for the response and the links. I just spent a couple hours going through all the steps and solutions supplied in the links and looked through their support forum. Still no luck. I guess I wil keep researching and hope I stumble across a solution. :smileysad:

 

I wish there was a way to verify that pushing the WPS button was actually doing something. I fear it is not.

Ok so I have tried everything to get this darn printer to connect. Is there a way to verify operation of the WPS button on the HT2000w ?
