R6400V2 WPS button location
Trying to use wps. The manual states to use wps use the button on the back. There is NO wps button on the back.... So how do I activate wps or what is the alternative? Thanks

Page 114 in the manual was the answer. Log in to the router, go to advanced setup, click on next, wps!
Thanks

It's not there. Even the illustration doesn't show where it is. I think the illustration is out of date.

I can't see your gizmo, so all I have to go by is tha manual. There,
"Table 1. LED and button descriptions (continued)", on page 11, shows
the icon associated with the "WPS button with LED", a padlock with
"radio waves". It's the rightmost LED(+button).
Assuming that your R6400v2 looks like my D7000, the two rightmost
LEDs are actually LED+button combinations. These protrude from the
panel more than the other, similar LED indicators which are only
indicators. The two LED+buttons also click when depressed, unlike the
plain, LED-only indicators.
Interestingly, the manual for a D7000 has a full-page illustration
devoted to emphasizing those two LED+button combinations (although
they're still not especially well described).
I'm still betting that the button-ness of the LED+buttons is what
you're missing, but many things are possible.
