Trying to disable WPS (bringing the topic to the top of lists again)

Why do you need WPS off completely when you have to physically hit the button anyway to allow access. The only way a bruteforce can get through your router is through the PIN, which when disabled removes any security threats through WPS... I think the only thing that might be an issue is if you have a guest/family member in your household that you're trying to prevent access and they're somehow getting to the WPS button, then I would understand your dilemma to a point, but still there is ways of preventing such acts with a few simple steps ---

1. Move the router to your room and hide it from plain sight

2. Ask your guest politely to leave the router alone

3. Stop being paranoid, no one is trying to hack your router (circumstantial).

WPS itself is a security feature to allow other means of supplying network access without SSID broadcast (most secure feature on the router). Netgear giving the option to disable WPS completely would only make security worse for you and your network. Not to mention WPS itself is built into the router without a circuit switch so that option is not possible in the first place unless it was added with newer models.

Again, if you want total physical control over security from within your network then you need to take the necessary steps I listed above. It's not Netgear's problem to fix your networking dilemma within your household, that's between you and your family/guests. Anyways, I hope you get through your issue and hopefully find eventual peace. I'm a network security nut myself and take pride in securing every hole and every vulnerability.
