WPS process is in progress and won't let me enable wireless
Hi. Problem with a Nighthawk x10 Model R90000 with the newest firmware (V1.0.5.38). I'm at a loss. It appears the WPS Wizard is running according to the router, but according to my devices it isn't...
I tried a factory reset and rebuilt the wireless setting, the WPS problem persisted. I then deleted all the backup files to ensure the factory reset wasn’t grabbing any settings, and did another factory reset, no luck, even worse. Now the router can’t find the login page even though I am hardwired. I can ping the router, and other devices that are hard wired. So I went from no Wi-Fi to no Wi-Fi and no hardwired bandwidth. I just bought a linksys router, more expensive but at least I can get tech support and don’t need a computer Science degree. Very odd this all happened after I “upgraded” the firmware, Apple battery much?

Does this mean that you are trying to use WPS and it doesn't work?
Is there still an entry for "WPS Settings" in the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
Maybe this is one of the features removed in recent firmware on security grounds.

Does this mean that you have abandoned the R9000?
.... Apple battery much?
I'll bite. What does that mean?
