WAX202 - Disable WPS in AP mode?
There is no option I can see to disable WPS on this router. Any help?

According to the fine documentation, it isn't, indeed.
RaghuHR it's more than obscure that in the year 2022 there are no controls to disable WPS in general, WPS by PIN, and WPS by push button. Definitively controls our customers expect from what is sold as a business AP, even if it's just the "essential" features class..
Not the answer I wanted, but the answer I expected.
Supposedly it will fight off WPS attacks by itself, and hopefully I never have to find out.

Depending on the installation location, with the WPS PIN problem addressed for a long time, I'm much more concerned about the physical button.

Well, it's not supposed to allow brute force WPS PIN attacks of course.
