Arris DG1670 MTAMTA has a button on the Top labeled WPS....what is it?
It is actually positioned in a very poor spot right on the top on the edge. I went to move the MTA and this button was pushed by accident by my hand.
Is it disabled or by pushing it I have activated something and need to de-activate...if so, how? |

I pressed it when I was Moving the location of the MTA while it was Powered on, ...did it activate something and something I need to de-Activate.....or is this button Dis-Abled so no harm? |

It turns on wifi protected setup. It's a method of connecting wifi devices without having to enter the SSID and password. It'll turn off by itself after a minute or so. Nothing to worry about. |

Thanks; Is this what you would use to let a Guess use your WiFi....? After they disconnect from your WiFi....in order to use it again the process would need t be repeated? |

I don't know. I have only one usb wifi gizmo with the button and couldn't get it to connect to the router, so I just used the ssid & pw.
Some routers have a separate guest wifi setup so you won't have to give out the main wifi info for guests. |

The answer I started out looking has been missed.
I pushed this WPS by accident.....did I active something that now needs to be corrected? Or is this button de-activated..does Nothing..... |

Yes it activated an automatic method to connect a wifi device, but it turned itself off way before the first reply you received.
Nothing to worry about. |
