    I don't know if this will help, but some of the HT2000W modems have "touchy" WPS buttons.  Are you sure it's engaging when you press it?  Though I don't have anything that connects using the WPS button, I have to press it with considerable pressure to get the inside button to actually depress.  But, of course, be careful, as you don't want to press it TOO hard and break it.
