Disable WPS on R9000 Nighthawk X10 AD7200

I read this KB on the subject:

 

https://kb.netgear.com/19824/How-do-NETGEAR-Home-routers-defend-WiFi-Protected-Setup-PIN-against-brute-force-vulnerability

 

It says this:

 

To disable the Router PIN method:

 

Login to the router GUI by typing www.routerlogin.net on an Internet browser's address bar. Note: Default logins are: Username = admin, Password = password. Go to Advanced Setup menu and select Wireless Settings. Under WPS settings, put a check mark on Disable Router's PIN box.

 

Note: If your model does not have a "Disable Router's PIN" option, uncheck the "Enable Router’s PIN" box instead. Hit Apply button to save settings.

 

Problem is, the R9000 does not have a Disable Router's PIN box or an Enable Router's PIN box. I have the latest firmware (V1.0.5.24), updated today.

 

Anyone know how to disable WPS (either all of WPS or just the PIN method) on the R9000? Thanks, Joe

    In that KB article, none of the "applies to" devices are the R9000. 

    Do you have a screen snip of what you actual see when you go to that location?

        photos have to be approved by a mod. it takes time. you can do the "choose file" option at the bottom and add it.
