What Is WPS?

This guide explains WPS, why it matters, how it works, and how to evaluate or use it in practical situations.

A simple way to understand WPS is: When you turn on WPS, you don't need an account (username) and (password) or anything else via WPS in the modem and the WPS function on the device to connect to each other. WPS was created to support Wi-Fi connection between devices, from 802.11 Access Point, wireless adapters, Wi-fi phones and other electronic devices.

WPS can be used by the following two methods for login / authentication:

• PIN (Personal Identification Number) method : A random PIN is automatically taken from the web configuration interface of the device using WPS. This Pin will then be used to enter the user's AP or WPS device to use the connection.
• PBC (Push Button Configuration) Method: Users only need to press the built-in WPS button on the devices, then both WPS devices are connected.

On some modern Modem / Router devices today, it's easy to come across a button that says WPS. Just press the WPS button and it will automatically perform the above function. WPS has the ability to automatically set a configuration name (SSID) and password to access the configuration. This is extremely convenient because you do not need to know and remember the SSID and security keys or password for the Wi-fi connection when the device activates WPS. Another highlight is that the password is randomly generated so it is hard for anyone to guess your password, etc. However, in order to use WPS, the access devices as well as provide WPS support can use. useful, otherwise this feature is only for coloring. This technology is still relatively new, so it may take some time for regular use.
