    Hello,
    Problem as in the subject or how to enable WPS on Huawei HG8546M? Today they replaced the router and I got the same model as before, but newer. In the previous one I had two buttons on the side, one of which turned on WPS, so I could quickly connect the printer to the network.
    Today I got one with one button on the side, the description is not much in Chinese, so I can't read anything from the bushes. On the Huawei Poland website there is nothing about such a model, and thus the instructions.

    Can anyone help me turn on WPS on the router for a while so that I can connect the printer?

    Does holding down the WIFI button longer trigger the WPS function? In several older ZTE models it was just that you had to hold the WIFI button longer.

    A long hold causes all the LEDs to go out. Unfortunately, the WPS LED is also off.

    Log in to the device panel and check if the WPS function is activated / available at all.

    I logged in and the function was not activated. I turned it on, gave the "start WPS" option and despite the restart of the router I still can't
    enable WPS. The LED is still off. I combine with pressing the button in different ways and nothing.

    Nothing helps. The indicator light will not even flash. I pressed Start WPS in the router menu and finally the printer got it. How I did it - I can't say. Subject to close.

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    I pressed the router button and the WPS start option in the router menu alternately. I don't know what helped, but the printer started working.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around enabling the WPS function on a Huawei HG8546M router to connect a printer. The user initially faced difficulties as the new router only has one button, unlike the previous model with two buttons. Suggestions included holding the Wi-Fi button longer, checking the device panel for WPS activation, and using the router's menu to start WPS. Ultimately, the user managed to connect the printer by alternating between pressing the router button and selecting the "Start WPS" option in the menu, although the exact method of success remained unclear.
