Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

[zashwishpq]

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to a wireless network by using a simple push-button method or a PIN code. However, WPS has some known security vulnerabilities, and if you're testing your Wi-Fi network, it's important to ensure the safety and security of your WPS settings.

Here are some steps to test WPS on your Wi-Fi network:

1. Check if WPS is enabled: Log in to your router's admin panel and look for a WPS setting or option. If it's enabled, you'll want to test its security; if it's disabled, you're already more secure.
2. Test the physical WPS button: If your router has a WPS button, you can test its functionality by pressing it and checking if the corresponding LED indicator blinks or changes color. You should also see if your device connects automatically to the network.
