I need a router with a WPS button

I just bought a Chamberlain MyQ  Garage and the instructions say to pressthe WPS button on the router.  The Verizon router I have (MI424WR) has one, but it's not activated.  The two possible Verizon upgrades  are the Advanced Wi-Fi Router and the Quantum Gateway.  Does either have a working WPS button?  Since they sell the MyQ, you'd think they'd have to have one that does.  But on a chat with a Verizon agent, I was told they don't. 

 

Of course, this begs the question of why Verizon "detweaks" stuff.  My router has a WPS  button, but it's not activated.  My cable box/DVR has a USB port, but it doesn't work by design.  Why does Verizon deliberately make some of the equipment thwy sell less capable than the manufacturer's standard item?

 

And if I buy a third-party router, what capabilities might I give up?
