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 ac-
tivated 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 almost immediately after the connection has been established.
Some router manufacturers deactivate WPS at the factory.
