Re: wps and wifi security

Are you confusing wps with wpa - wps is the push-button/pin connection method whereas wpa is wifi encryption. Disabling 
wps doesn't mean you no longer have a wpa password, it means you can't use push-button/pin to make connections.

Dear All

Since reading the article that wps is vulnerable and the experts advising
that this be 'unticked' so it is disabled but surely if wps is disabled then
it is more of a security risk as this means there is no password so anyone
can hack into the wifi as it is exposed? Or does it not work like that?
