WPS
WiFi Protected Setup
Standard for making the process of establishing a connection with a wireless network simple.
Standard method: push-button setup
If WPS is activated, the connection interface is open for 2minutes. If WPS has been activated on
another device, the devices will establish a connection independently of one another.
Security problem
With a connection using WPS, the WiFi password for the router can be read out in plain text al-
most immediately after the connection has been established.
Some router manufacturers deactivate WPS at the factory.
