WPS is separate from WPA/WPA2 encryption.

It provides a method of automatically configuring the client.

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?
