RAX20-disabling WPS?

Why is there no way to disable WPS on the RAX20? A terrible security flaw that I have just come to learn of!

    What security flaw are you referring too? 


    Are there any options for WPS under Advanced tab/Advanced/Wireless settings?

    I just noticed this too on my AX12, AX6000, RAX120 (yes, this is how many separate model numbers Netgear gives a single device).  So many options for router settings that Netgear offers, yet 90% of those options will never be changed or modified by the majority of users. But one of the most basic options and important security-wise is the option to disable WPS, and the software developer team leader didn't want to have that option coded in there.  Great software team management over there at Netgear.
