WN3000RP: WPS inaccessible

Attempting to setup WN3000RPv3. In the process, a pop-up reads: "WEP or WPA-PSK [TKIP] security authentication cannot work with WPS. WPS is going to become inaccessible. Do you want to continue?"

My security type is WEP. What will happen (or not happen) if I continue the setup process?

    You will not be able to use WPS. You will have to manually connect devices to your WiFi network by providing the network key. WEP is being phased out by Netgear in accordance with the WiFi Alliance requirements, and I’m not even sure if WEP is supported by the WN3000RP.
