Starlink routers (Gen 1, 2 or 3) do not have a WPS button. But there is a workaround!
Although the Starlink routers (Gen 1, 2 or 3) do not have a WPS button, you can setup the Starlink router in Bypass mode and use a third party modem which does have a WPS button.
Instructions on how to connect a 3rd party router to a Starlink router can be found on the Starlink site here https://www.starlink.com/au/support/article/a0fe8d51-32f7-d2b9-d74a-801e31ad9f6a
To be honest, if you need a WPS button to setup your device, it means the device you are linking to is probably a cheap printer or cheap Wi-Fi booster.
Better quality printers will have an interface where you can select the Wi-fi network and enter a password, usually from a LCD display on the printer.
The more expensive Brother printers usually have this facility. Cheaper Brother, HP , Epson and Canon printers do on have this facility.
Our advise is to avoid cheaper devices that require a WPS button to pair your Starlink wi-fi.
Also turn the band steering off and have two distinct 2.4 and 5mhz wifi channels. Some devices cannot see the combined wifi channel and may not work.
