  @AnnieClark  There's a WPS Method and TP-Link Tether App.  I checked the manual for the CR1000A and WPS needs to be pressed for at least 2 seconds for it to activate:

 

To activate the WPS function, press and hold the WPS button located

on the rear of your Verizon Router for more than two seconds.

When WPS is initiated from your router, the Router Status LED

slowly flashes blue for up to two minutes, allowing time to complete

the WPS pairing process on your Wi-Fi device (also known as a

Wi-Fi client). When a device begins connecting to your router using

WPS, the Router Status LED rapidly flashes blue for a few seconds,

and then solid white as the connection completes.

If there is an error during the WPS pairing process, the Router

Status LED rapidly flashes red for two minutes after the error

occurs.

 

This needs to be repeated for the other available band, I believe 5 GHz as 2.4 GHz is synced first.

 

I have used the Tether App and sometimes it isn't quite user friendly, but seems to be the recommended method of setup...
