You may need to look at your washing machine's manual. It may have to connect in a certain way.For example, a co-worker upgraded his lawn sprinkler system. He bought the wifi plugin for the control system. He had to download their app, on his phone, and create an account. Then, he had to disconnect from his home wifi, and connect to the wifi plugin. The app identified the wifi plugin, and then asked to connect to his home wifi. Once connected, the wifi plugin was then connected to his home wifi. Now, with the app, he can control his sprinkler system anywhere he is.1

@Finrit , thinking out loud... You are connecting to a BT hot spot.. can I assume then that this is not your own exclusive router and an open connection provided by BT? I wonder if the hotspot disallows persistent connections so that it's forcing a new connection each time you connect. Hence the need to push the WPS button.

Does the machine not have an application or a built in hotspot for configuration of standard WiFi? All routers don't have WPS thus there must be a way to configure the connection outside of WPS.
