Altice Mini DVR won't pair - WPS button

JSH — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 17:24:32 GMT

Altice DVRs use a WPS button to pair to their Altice One Gateway (all in one modem / router that's terrible). I installed my own modem and Nest Wifi, but don't have the WPS function on the Nest router. Any recommendation on how to pair the Altice Mini DVR's? Thanks.

If the only way to hook them up to your wifi network is push button WPS then it gets complicated...WPS is pretty old technology now and considered very insecure. I'd be yelling at the provider (ok maybe don't yell at the call centre staff, it's not their fault!) about still giving out devices needing WPS.

BUT...if you have to do it...you likely need to disconnect your Nest Wifi and put the Altice modem/router back in for a bit...give it the same wifi name (SSID) and password as you want to use on Nest wifi...then use WPS to hook up your mini boxes. Once they're working, get rid of the Altice router and put your Nest wifi back in, the boxes should reconnect using their saved wifi name/password.
