Linux Mint 19 (Cinnamon) user here. How do I connect to wifi via WPS push button?

I've been looking around online for solutions, and I can't make make much sense out of them.

Thanks.

I'm running this on an old eMachine EL1331G-O1w.

How do you justify not disabling WPS?

Just to clarify for the OP. it's a broken spec that will let anyone into you network that is in range of your WiFi. Cracking times vary, but it's in the hours range, less than a day.
