Square WPS button light colours on Zyxel NR5103E

[Limera]

Hi All,

As far as I know, for as long as i've had the Zyxel NR5103E, the square WPS button on the front of the device has always had a green light framing it.  What colour is yours showing and what do the colours represent?  This past few days i've seen it red and as I write it is yellow.  Has a minor patch changed something?  This week i've had some issues with my connection in general, barely holding onto weak 5g and often dipping out to 4g which isn't it's usual behavior but I don't know if that is relevant to this WPS button frame colour.  I've never so much as set up a device using WPS so it's nothing i've done with WPS settings.

@Limera sorry I just saw that you'd already answered @Bob, thanks for confirming this! 🙂

Hi @Bob , was just dabbling with turning my own WPS off and noticed that if you don't have the "Keep the same settings for 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks" option ticked, but want to ensure WPS is off for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels, then the menus are a bit clunky.

You need to go to Network Settings - Wireless - General and select the 2.4GHz band then go to the WPS tab and switch off and apply WPS, then go back to Network Settings - Wireless - General and select the 5GHz band then go to the WPS tab and switch off and apply WPS once again.  This disables it for both.

Hey @Tommo501,

Have you noticed any issues with the connection itself like @Limera mentioned? Have you tried a factory reset, or been given any advice from customer services?

Thanks,
Jonathan
