How do I turn off WPS?

How do I turn off WPS? Should it be off for security? I don't use it. I tried using the button to turn it off and I tried to find a way in the Netgear Genie.

 

Thanks

    Hello Ann3

     

    The WPS settings are in Advanced-Advanced Setup- Wireless settings.

      I try to keep my SoHo network as secure as possible. I recently read about disabling WPS so I looked for the way to do it. Took a bit of digging but eventually I found you guys. Just a note to say thanks.

      Best Regards
