Does anyone know of a way to disable WPS on the Orbi? The following KB article doesn't seem to apply with the Orbi and I don't see any cofinguration options on the orbi setup page to disable this function. Wi-Fi Protected Setup shows "configured" and I don't see any way to disable this setting. The below article shows that Netgear realizes the risk of having WPS left on the router and provides a way to disable this on lower end routers. I would think that there would be a way to disable WPS on their high end routers too.

hi
the way the orbi uses wps ( push nutton ) does not fall under the related issue , the issue at hand is when wps is done by pin code and is permently on all the time and this is where the security flaw and issue come in play
push button and initial connection wps cant be disabled as this is how the devices connect , it is however not a concern as orbi does not use the pin method of wps
hope that clears it up
