Best to set it up manually if you are technically inclined to do so. That button is for people that know nothing about networking and want simple things in life. Also depending on what settings it uses when pressing the button. It is more likely to be cracked. My router does the same thing and it probably defaults to WEP for encryption. WPA2+AES is best for home use and most secure for wifi use. Which is what I use currently.
It looks like I'm going to go with push button because:
From my router's manual:
"Your Router also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) specification, which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or pushing a button, to enable users to automatically configure network names and strong WPA™/WPA2 data encryption and authentication."
