how to disable WPS for Orbi

I have come to learn that WPS is a security risk, and want to disable it on my Orbi. This article explains the risks pretty well:

I found this other support ticket here with the same quest, but it was not answered satisfactorily:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-to-disable-WPS-on-Orbi/m-p/1161822#M881

 

Please tell me there is a way to do this! I have the misfortune of making this discovery 3 days after my warranty expired!!
