    Hello Akateko,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    WPS light will still be blinking slowly even if you uncheck the "Enable Router's PIN" and even if you push the WPS button at the back of the router, the PIN will still not work.

     

    Hope this answers your question.

Thank you for the response. Although is it possible to completely turn off wps?

    Akateko If you're talking about the WPS light, there's no way to have it completely turned off.
