- Make sure the other device is also in WPS pairing mode.
- If it does not connect within the expected time, try the WPS process again.
- If the second attempt fails, restart the modem and retry.
- Use the normal Wi-Fi password instead of WPS if pairing keeps failing.

When to stop troubleshooting
Stop using WPS if the device repeatedly fails to pair. Connect manually with the Wi-Fi network name and password instead.
Parts or products that may help
