WiFi Router "WPS" Security Risk

4.5

Your router has WPS enabled, which makes it vulnerable to brute-force attacks.

Symptoms

Possible Causes
  • WPS enabled by default

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable WPS

Log into your router settings and turn off "Wi-Fi Protected Setup".

2

Change Admin Password

Ensure your router's login isn't still "admin/admin".

3

Update Encryption

Use WPA3 or WPA2-AES for the best security.

When to See a Technician

WPS is a major security hole; always disable it and use a strong WPA2/3 password instead.
