RAX200 - WPS light continues blinking. Already tried rebooting.

Please release a new firmware right away! When you push the WPS, the light constantly blinks and doesn't turn off. Does the leave my network open to attack or unauthorized devices to connect? Please fix this right away. Is Netgear even working on this issue? What is a ETA for new firware to get the fix? Just purchased, but may return this unit and go back to Belkin! For the top of the line unit and the very expensive cost of this unit, this model should be trouble free! I have tried most all the attemps by others, but still in the same position of the blinking light. It is incomprehensible how this issue was not found in the development and testing process.
Netgear, your reputation is on the line here!

Thanks for your reply.
I did come accross a setting that gives this option:
"Block all new devices from connecting"
Hopefully this will help with the security issues of unauthorized users.
This setting is located under the advanced tab/security/access control
