How to turn off WPS on C7800?
How can I trun off WPS on a C7800? I went through all the options in basic and advanced and don't see an option to disable WPS. The WPS Wizard is where it seems this is configured doesn't offer an option for turning it off.
Thanks,
Charley

structure has some potentially confusing quirks. Compare, for example:ADVANCED > Setup > Wireless Setup
and
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings

there isn't an option to fully disable wps. You can disable the pin based method.

Thanks, but unfortunately that procedure doesn't apply to the C7800. IT doesn't seem to offer a way to ""Disable Router's PIN" option, or uncheck the "Enable Router’s PIN"
Any other suggestions?

the manual shows it as being an option under: ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
