@ duaneoda,

Connecting the devices using a WPS option is not that secured, hence, we did not add that to our Almond 2015.

You could connect the printer wireless by connecting a USB cable to the laptop and run the printer software and select wireless setup, later on you can disconnect the cable.

Nothing "requires" WPS. It just shortcuts the connection procedure/initial handshake when adding a WPS enabled device  to the network. There should still be the ability to setup your printer the old fashioned way.

From what I understand, WPS' security is garbage, and I'm muddling my way through learning basic networking -so I'm OK without WPS...
      ...but if you are going to put "Routers for humans" on your box, it should at least be an option you can activate. There's certainly room for one more pastel colored tile on my little screen.
