Do you already have enough constant passwords to connect new devices to your Wi-Fi network? There is an easy way to avoid it! Many modern routers are equipped with a button that allows fast and safe connection without the need for a password.

What is the WPS button and where to find it?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature that allows devices to connect to a Wi-Fi network without having to enter a password. On the router, it is often found as a button with an icon of two arrows or indicated by shortcuts such as WPS, QSS or Push ‘N’ Connect. This button is usually located on the rear or side of the router, depending on the manufacturer.

How to use the WPS button to connect devices?

Connecting the device with WPS is easy and fast. Follow the following steps:

  1. Turn on the devicethat you want to connect to the Wi-Fi network (eg TV, smartphone, printer).
  2. In the device settings Locate the WPS connection option. You can find it on the TVs in the network settings, on smartphones in Wi-Fi settings.
  3. Press the WPS button on your router. After pressing, you usually have a few minutes to complete the connection.
  4. The device is automatically connected to the network without the need for a password.

This process is ideal for quick connection of new devices or for sharing a network with guests without revealing your password.

Is the use of WPS safe?

Although WPS is comfortable, its safety has been questioned in the past. Some older routers required PIN code to enter, posing a safety risk. However, modern routers usually support WPS connections, which is considered safer. It is recommended to use this feature only when you need to connect new devices and then turn it off in the router settings to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.

If your router does not support WPS or worry about safety, consider using other connectivity methods, such as manually entering a password or creating a guest network with a temporary password for visitors.
