Disabling WPS in RAX54S
Does anyone know how to disable WPS in the RAX54S either directly or indirectly if there is such a way like disabling a pin? I do caregiving & sometimes take in people with disabilities whose caregi...
I'd agree with it being a big of a security risk. There used to be a way to disable it. I don't see it on my rs600 or any of my orbi's. Could be a feature that's been removed. Might suggest re/enabling it on the ideas exchange forum.
I believe that WPS is not active until any WPS button is pressed.
Something to ask NG about though.
You're a little caught. If they have access to hit the wps button, they also have access to the ethernet ports which gives them access to. Locking it in a cabinet or even a plastic case is about your only option
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to find some way to lock it up. May be tricky with the wires & antennas, but I'll try to think of a way. Thank you all. And I apologize for taking so long to get back. I did just recently had someone staying for awhile, so my free time went way down for a bit.
Almost forgot to mention I did read on the internet that its not possible to block all new connections & leave the guest network open to connect new devices. I haven't tested it out for myself. I suppose I could test it out just in case what I read is wrong.
Thank you for the responses! I'm going to post it on the idea exchange area now. That part of the site is new to me, so thanks for alerting me to it & suggesting it!
