Trying to disable WPS (bringing the topic to the top of lists again)

Pressing the WPS button causes the LED to flash very fast for a second or two.
Not ideal at all but it works after a fashion.
I'd still like the NetGear developers to add a simple WPS enable/disable checkbox in a future firmware update.
