Enable WPS on AX1500

[GeoffAF]

Hello, the WPS button on our new AX1500 modem router does not work. Looking at previous questions for other models, I found instructions for logging into a different model modem and manually enabling it, using "admin" as both the user name and password. I tried this. However, there was no username field, only a password field, and it rejected "admin" as the password.

Please provide instructions on how to enable WPS on this model modem.

On a side note, it seems rediculous that the modems do not come with WPS enabled. The button is there, the light is there, why not just let us use it???!!! It's such a useful feature, and it is costing you money to respond to query after query about why it doesn't work and how to enable it. Surely there's a compelling business logic here for you to JUST TURN IT ON AT THE FACTORY!!! Really!

How to send a PM?

Hi Geoff,

Did they resolve your issue? I've got a similar issue with the vx2200 supplied by tpg - the morons didn't bother to make their response public!! I've been trying to deal with their HELP DEsk to no avail.

Hi @shawgarrett

We did not receive any response from @GeoffAF in which we can't provide any advise in public.

If the button is not working, you may try to enable the WPS via the modem interface.

If it failed, try to factory reset the device.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @Ensor4, what type of service do you have? Did you get the modem from TPG?
