They advertise Pixma MX472 easy to install. What the heck the WPS where do I to find it?

What the heck is the WPS button and where can I find or us it using a T-Mobile broadband WiFi? I've tried the easy setup for over two hours now and I am really getting frustrated. Why can't companies print decent EASY TO USE instructions that don't force consumers to search for hours to get help. If I can't get this printer working and print my boarding pass before long I am returning this printer to Best Buy.

The WPS button is what allows the printer to be recognized by the router. Sometimes it's a real hardware button and sometimes it's a software button. The instructions got your router/AP will tell you.

Its pretty generic.
