How to disable WPS Button
How can I disable the WPS button?
When I installed my Router/Modem, I was very careful to choose a very strong password.
However, I now see, what I assume, are my neighbors connecting to my WiFi network and using my internet connection. All I can think of, is that when they or their kids are visiting, they are covertly pressing the WPS button, attaching their devices, and going back home.
I NEED TO STOP THIS from happening by disabling the WPS button.
I can't believe Netgear would add to the hardware such an incredibly easy way to circumvent my network's security.

Plausible.

SuperGlue? Locked router box? Better-behaved children?

I can believe, but am amazed (or at least puzzled) that anyone would
expect to achieve network security without physically securing the
router.
