The WPS button is a soild red and wont let any device join wi-fi.

Phones do not usually have a WPS button; they often have an option to use the WPS button during Wi-Fi setup. Your wireless router may have the WPS button; check the manual or look at the router for the button location. To connect the phone to a router with a WPS button, go to Settings (from All Apps) and choose Wi-Fi. Make sure that the slider is set to On. Then tap on the icon with three dots in a black rectangle. Choose the Advanced option. Tap the WPS Push Button option and then push the WPS button on the router.

I looked at the AT&T manual for the ZTE Z835 (Maven 3) for the specifics on this section of the Wi-Fi setup. See page 44 (page 46 of the PDF) of the manual: https://images.comparecellular.com/phones/2673/ZTE-Maven-3-user-guide-ATT-english.pdf .

I hope this helps.

WPS Connection Method Before we start, there are some conditions that must be met in order to use the WPS push button method:

• The access point must have a physical WPS push button available. Please check with your device's user guide for details. If the WPS push button is not available please use the instructions on the Standard Connection Method tab.
• Your network must be using the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security protocol. Most WPS enabled access points use this protocol.

Step 1 1. Press the [Setup] button (A) on the printer.
Step 2
1. Select [Wireless LAN setup] and press the [OK] button.
The blue Wi-Fi lamp (A), will light up when the wireless connection is enabled.
The printer will now automatically search for access points supporting the WPS feature
Step 3
The display on printer should be as shown below:
(The message will read: "Press WPS button about 5 sec. and press [OK] on the device)"
1. Press and hold the [WPS] button on the access point.
For exact instructions on starting WPS on your access point, please refer to its user guide.
2. Press the [OK] button on the printer within 2 minutes.
The blue Wi-Fi lamp on the printer flashes while searching for or connecting to the access point.
Once connected, the following screen will appear. Press the [OK] button.
If another screen appears, please refer to "troubleshooting" in the user guide.
This concludes the WPS setup procedure.
Please now proceed by installing the software to make the most out of your PIXMA MX474.

1. If you do not have the installation CD that came with your product, please download the manuals and software.

Hi, you need to count the blinks to know what error is.

The WPS is abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. This function should you help to set up strong wireless network password (so called "shared secret") by very easy way.
For most of users is very hard to create, remember and assign complex long password to Wi-Fi router and client devices e.g. smart phones, laptops, printers.
Short and simple (non-complex) password is weak and can be broken by hackers. You can set strong password using WPS buttons. No device management access is required.

Procedure description
Press WPS button on both devices you wish connect each other. (Router, wireless printer...)Wait until password is set automatically and devices are connected.There exists second procedure in WPS standard. It is similar to described one, but PIN number is required in addition.

Security warning!!!
Enabled WPS function is very high security risk. The WPS sets strong password, but offers another security hole to hackers. The WPS standard is affected by well known vulnerability and therefore is insecure. It is recommended to DISABLE WPS ON ALL DEVICES. Go to device setup and disable the WPS completely.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set up and connections. Some of NETGEAR's products use the name Push 'n' Connect for WPS. To use WPS, your product must support WPS and be compatible with WPA security. WPS can automatically set up a random network name (SSID) and strong WPA wireless security for wireless routers, access points, computers, adapters, Wi-Fi phones, and other electronic devices.
WPS lets you use a push button or enter a personal identification number (PIN) instead of manually entering a network name (SSID) and password:

• Push button. The WPS button is either a button on the product or a an option on the wizard or utility screen.

Are you saying if you hook up bring in the new Wi-Fi device you need to reboot for it to be recognized? Are using WPS?

CALL YOUR ISP FIRST.
