What does "use other operation mode" mean?

On the Advanced Wireless Settings page, there a cryptic option under the WPS Settings.  It says "use other operation mode".  There is no documentation in the help section that I can see, and I've not been able to find anything on this on the website.  What does this option actually *do*?

      I actually want to completely disable WPS, but the point of this question was different.  There's an option in the admin screens that really isn't documented anywhere and it pretty obscurely labeled.  I'm mostly curious -- what does this option *do*?
