23.3 - WPS Settings
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows setup of WPS-equipped Wi-Fi devices. Instead of sharing the SSID
and security credentials with a client, WPS connected clients using a push button or PIN entry method.
Note –
This feature is not recommended for use because WPS can be exploited to gain access
to a network if left enabled.
