Why do you assume I am inexperienced? Perhaps I knew this was an option from the start but chafed at the idea of having to run an inconvenient wire at all if there was a chance WPS would work. I do have it wired now and can set the SSID and password. Now that I've bothered to cleanly wire it up...

I often wonder if there'd be a market for tech that just works, not necessarily cutting edge. I guess Apple tries to control everything and make it smooth but I've never liked the limitations they impose.
