WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, which is a feature supplied with many routers to make the process of connecting to a secure wireless network from a computer or other device easier. It is a network security standard that simplifies the process of connecting devices to a wireless network. A router with a WPS button can allow any device to automatically connect to your router when the WPS button is pressed. The WPS button makes connecting to your router easier and faster.

To use WPS on a router, you need to verify that the router and the internet-capable device support the WPS feature. Look on your modem or router to see if it has a WPS button, and go into the Network menu of your internet-capable device to see if the WPS option is available. Then, follow the steps to set up a WPS (Push Button) connection, which typically involves pressing the WPS button on the router and selecting the WPS option on the device.

It is important to note that WPS is not very secure, and PIN-based WPS connections seem especially vulnerable against brute-force attacks. A successful attack on WPS allows the attacker to gain access to your Wi-Fi network, and the only effective workaround is to disable WPS. Therefore, it is recommended to disable WPS on your router when it is not in use.
