Here you'll find the WPS button on the Fritzbox

WPS is the abbreviation for "WiFi Protected Setup" and refers to a procedure that is supposed to make it easier for you to pair a device such as a printer or PC with the WLAN router. Unlike the manual establishment of a connection, the data exchange with the WPS procedure takes place automatically and it is not necessary to enter the WLAN key. In order to establish the WLAN connection via WPS, most routers have a WPS button. If you have a Fritzbox, you will find the WPS button on the top of the device, where it is marked by the imprint "WPS" or "WLAN".
